within seventy-two (72) hours after the end of the Delivery Window; or
(B) 装运港船上交货时,未能在交付窗口期结束之后七十二(72)小时内交付所有或部分LNG 货品,
in the case of a FOB delivery, fails to deliver all or part of a LNG Cargo within seventy-two (72) hours after the end of the Delivery Window,
除了由于(i)不可抗力,(ii)买方未能收货或买方其它原因,(iii)目的港船上交货时,买方设施或其所有者或运营方的过失,或(iv)装运港船上交货时,LNG 船、承运方或LNG 船船长或船员的过失之外,买方通过自行决定, 在不影响买方任何其他权利的情况下,有权向卖方发出通知,取消LNG 货品的交付,并在可行的情况下,指挥LNG 船离开装货港或卸货港(视情况而定)的泊位。如果买方根据第6.1(a)条取消了LNG货品的交付,则需将该标称量作为未交付量(以下简称未交付量)。
for any reason other than (i) Force Majeure, (ii) Buyer's failure to accept or any reasons attributable to Buyer, (iii) in the case of a DAP delivery, fault of Buyer's Facilities, or its owner or operator or (iv) in the case of a FOB delivery, fault of the LNG Ship, the Transporter or the LNG Ship's master or crew, then, in Buyer's sole discretion and without prejudice to any of Buyer's other rights, Buyer shall be entitled by and upon giving notice to Seller to cancel the delivery of the LNG Cargo and, if applicable, to direct the LNG Ship to depart the berth at the Loading Port or the Discharge Port, as applicable. If Buyer cancels the delivery of a LNG Cargo in accordance with this Section 6.1(a), the Nominal Quantity shall be considered an undelivered quantity ("Undelivered Quantity").
(b) 卖方需向买方支付相当于(i)用来取代未交付量的LNG 采购总成本(通过参考买方取消LNG 货品交付之日的市场价格进行评估,不论买方是否真的去购买LNG 取代未交付量)超出合同价的部分乘以未交付量的金额(如有的话);加上(ii)由于卖方未能交货而直接导致的,买方无法履行或推迟履行转售义务而实际产生的任何偿金(经卖方合理要求,买方需提供相关证明文件);但是,上述金额不应超过合同价与未交付量的乘积。
Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to (i) the amount, if any, by which the total cost of acquiring LNG to replace the Undelivered Quantity (assessed by reference to Market Prices at the date of Buyer's cancellation of the delivery of the LNG Cargo, and without reference to whether Buyer in fact acquires LNG to replace the Undelivered Quantity) exceeds the Contract Price multiplied by the Undelivered Quantity; plus (ii) any liabilities actually incurred by Buyer (which Buyer shall evidence with such documents as Seller may reasonably require) because of failure to perform or delay in performing resale obligations as a direct result of Seller's failure to deliver; provided, however, that such amount shall not exceed the Contract Price multiplied by the Undelivered Quantity.
(c) 第6.1(b)条中规定的补救措施是针对卖方未交付LNG 货品,买方可以采取的唯一补救措施。
The remedy stipulated in Section 6.1(b) shall be Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy for Seller's failure to deliver a LNG Cargo.
6.2 买方未能收货Buyer's failure to accept
(a) 如果买方:If Buyer:
(A) 装运港船上交货时,未能在相关交付窗口期结束之前发出LNG 货品的准备就绪通知书,或未能在交付窗口期结束之后七十二(72)小时内交付所有或部分LNG 货品;或

Cargo within seventy-two (72) hours after the end of the Delivery Window; or
(B) 目的港船上交货时,未能在交付窗口期结束之后七十二(72)小时内交付所有或部分LNG 货品,
in the case of a DAP delivery, fails to take delivery of all or part of a LNG Cargo within seventy-two (72) hours after the end of the Delivery Window,
除了由于(i)不可抗力,(ii)卖方未能交货或卖方其它原因,(iii)装运港船上交货时,卖方设施或其所有者或运营方的过失,或(iv)目的港船上交货时,LNG 船、承运方或LNG 船船长或船员的过失之外,卖方通过自行决定, 在不影响卖方任何其他权利的情况下,有权向买方发出通知,取消LNG 货品的交付,并在可行的情况下,指挥LNG 船离开装货港或卸货港(视情况而定)的泊位。如果卖方根据第6.2(a)条取消了LNG货品的交付,则需将该标称量作为差额量(以下简称差额量)。
for any reason other than (i) Force Majeure, (ii) Seller's failure to deliver or any other reasons attributable to Seller, (iii) in the case of a FOB delivery, fault of Seller's Facilities, or its owner or operator or (iv) in the case of a DAP delivery, fault of the LNG Ship, the Transporter or the LNG Ship's master or crew, then, in Seller's sole discretion and without prejudice to any of Seller's other rights, Seller shall be entitled by and upon giving notice to Buyer to cancel the delivery of the LNG Cargo and, if applicable, to direct the LNG Ship to depart the berth at the Loading Port or the Discharge Port, as applicable. If Seller cancels the delivery of a LNG Cargo in accordance with this Section 6.2(a), the Nominal Quantity shall be considered a deficiency quantity ("Deficiency Quantity").
(b) 卖方应通过合理努力将所有或部分差额量进行销售,在此情况下,买方需向卖方支付相当于实际转售价格(经买方合理要求,卖方需提供相关证明文件)与售出差额量(MMBtu)的乘积扣除(i)合同价与售出差额量(MMBtu)的乘积,和(ii)由于买方未能收货而导致卖方产生的任何其他交通和物流成本后所得的金额。如果计算所得金额为负数, 买方则不需要就售出的差额量(MMBtu)支付任何费用,卖方需对相关金额予以保留。这是针对售出的差额量(MMBtu ) ,卖方可以采取的唯一补救措施。
Seller shall use reasonable endeavours to sell all or part of a Deficiency Quantity, and, if Seller does so, Buyer shall pay Seller an amount equal to the amount obtained by subtracting the Actual Resale Price (which Seller shall evidence with such documents as Buyer may reasonably require) multiplied by the MMBtus of Deficiency Quantity sold from the sum of (i) the Contract Price multiplied by the MMBtus of the Deficiency Quantity sold and (ii) any additional transportation and logistics costs incurred by Seller due to such failure. If such amount is negative, Buyer shall not be liable to make any payment with respect to the MMBtus of the Deficiency Quantity sold and Seller shall retain such amount. This shall be Seller's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to MMBtus of Deficiency Quantity sold.
(c) 如果卖方无法为所有或部分差额量找到其他买家,买方需向卖方支付合同价乘以无法售出差额量(MMBtu)的所得金额。这是针对无法售出的差额量(MMBtu),卖方可以采取的唯一补救措施。
In the event Seller cannot find an alternative buyer for all or part of the Deficiency Quantity, Buyer shall pay to Seller the Contract Price multiplied by the MMBtus of the Deficiency Quantity which could not be sold. This shall be Seller's sole and exclusive remedy with respect to MMBtus
of Deficiency Quantity which could not be sold.
