The on-hire days rule calculates the total various amount similar to the Voyage - Per Day rule, but instead of using total voyage days, the days excluding total downtime intervals are utilized:
Amount=(TotalVoyageDays−TotalOffhireDays)×Rate
For example, consider a voyage with port calls A and B that takes 10 days in total. Assume the following downtime intervals are recorded:
Port Call A: 1 day
Port Call B: 2 days
Total offhire time is 1 + 2 = 3 days, so the onhire days used by the rule are 10 − 3 = 7 days.
Important notes about the Onhire rule
The various amount for each item is updated dynamically as the voyage or downtime days change.
