　　LNG sold and purchased under each Transaction shall be delivered and taken in Full Cargo Lots, unless otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Confirmation Notice.

　　盡管協(xié)議雙方通過簽訂本協(xié)議以期不定時(shí)達(dá)成交易，但是，本協(xié)議的簽訂不應(yīng)在任何時(shí)候迫使任一方達(dá)成任何交易。

　　Although it is the intention of the Parties to enter into Transactions from time to time, the execution of this Agreement shall not oblige either Party at any time to enter into any Transaction.

　　每項(xiàng)交易中銷售和交付的LNG需通過相關(guān)確認(rèn)通知書中指定的賣方設(shè)施進(jìn)行提供。賣方通過自行決斷，可以在通知買方以后，更換賣方設(shè)施，并從任何其它供應(yīng)源取得LNG供應(yīng)給買方(以下簡稱代用賣方設(shè)施)，但需滿足以下前提：

　　LNG sold and delivered under each Transaction shall be supplied from the Seller’s Facilities specified in the relevant Confirmation Notice.

　　質(zhì)量QUALITY

　　就特定交易而言，賣方在交付點(diǎn)卸載并交付給買方的LNG，在轉(zhuǎn)換至氣態(tài)時(shí)，需符合相關(guān)確認(rèn)通知書中規(guī)定的規(guī)范(以下簡稱規(guī)范)。賣方聲明并保證，交付給買方的LNG品質(zhì)需符合規(guī)范要求。

　　For a given Transaction, the LNG delivered by Seller to Buyer shall, at the time of discharge at the Delivery Point, in the gaseous state, meet the specification set out in the relevant Confirmation Notice (Specification). Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the quality of the LNG delivered to Buyer other than that it shall meet the Specification.

　　在完成待交付LNG的裝載之后，賣方應(yīng)盡快根據(jù)第28條，向買方發(fā)出或促成他方向買方發(fā)出一份通知，告知已裝LNG的品質(zhì)。

　　As soon as practicable following the completion of loading of LNG for delivery, Seller shall, in accordance with Clause 28, send or cause to be sent to Buyer a notice setting out the quality of the loaded LNG.

　　如果賣方在對已裝LNG進(jìn)行卸載之前，意識到已裝LNG不符合規(guī)范要求，賣方需立即向買方發(fā)出通知(以下簡稱不合格通知)。買方在收到不合格通知后，

　　Where Seller becomes aware prior to the commencement of unloading that the loaded LNG does not comply with the Specification, Seller shall forthwith issue a notice to Buyer (Off Spec Notice). On receipt by Buyer of an Off Spec Notice:

　　買方應(yīng)通過合理努力，包括與買方設(shè)施運(yùn)營商就相關(guān)LNG的處理或混合進(jìn)行溝通，接受上述不合格LNG(以下簡稱不合格LNG)。

　　Buyer shall use its reasonable endeavours, including discussions with the operator of Buyer’s Facilities in relation to treating or blending the LNG, to accept the off specification LNG (Off Spec LNG).

　　買方在收到不合格通知之后，應(yīng)盡快通知賣方：

　　As soon as practicable after receipt of the Off Spec Notice, Buyer shall notify Seller either that:

　　買方拒絕接收上述不合格LNG，本情況下根據(jù)第4.8條進(jìn)行處理;或

　　Buyer rejects the Off Spec LNG, in which case Clause 4.8 shall apply; or

　　(ii) 買方準(zhǔn)備接收上述不合格LNG，買方在通知中需對因接收、處理或處置不合格LNG而產(chǎn)生的買方成本進(jìn)行誠意估算，本情況下根據(jù)第4.4條進(jìn)行處理。

　　Buyer is prepared to accept the Off Spec LNG, in which case Buyer’s notice shall include a good faith estimate of the costs that Buyer will incur as a result of the receipt, treatment and disposal of the Off Spec LNG and Clause 4.4 shall apply.

　　若根據(jù)第4.3(b)(ii)條所述，買方準(zhǔn)備接收上述不合格LNG，賣方需在收到買方通知以后，盡快就其是否接受買方的估算成本通知買方。如果賣方接受買方的估算成本，則買方需接收該不合格LNG，賣方需對買方因接收、處理或處置不合格LNG而產(chǎn)生的成本對買方予以賠償，但是賣方向買方的賠償金額不應(yīng)超過買方的估算成本。如果賣方不接受買方的估算成本，則視作買方拒絕接收上述不合格LNG，則根據(jù)第4.8條進(jìn)行處理。

　　If Buyer is prepared to accept the Off Spec LNG under Clause 4.3 (b) (ii), Seller shall as soon as practicable after receiving Buyer’s notice, notify Buyer whether or not it accepts Buyer’s estimate. If Seller accepts Buyer’s estimate, then Buyer shall accept the Off Spec LNG and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the costs incurred by Buyer as a result of receipt, treatment and disposal of the Off Spec LNG, provided that Seller’s liability to reimburse Buyer shall not exceed the amount estimated by Buyer. If Seller does not accept Buyer’s estimate, then Buyer shall be deemed to have rejected the Off Spec LNG and Clause 4.8 shall apply.

　　如果協(xié)議任一方在卸貨開始后、完成前，發(fā)現(xiàn)存在不合格LNG，該方需立即通知另一方，協(xié)議雙方需立刻暫停上述不合格LNG的卸載作業(yè)。需認(rèn)定買方已接收了暫停作業(yè)前已卸載的所有不合格LNG，針對買方因接收、處理或處置不合格LNG而導(dǎo)致買方承擔(dān)的所有損失、損害、成本或費(fèi)用，賣方需對買方進(jìn)行賠償，但是賣方的賠償責(zé)任不應(yīng)超過交付量與合同價(jià)的乘積的同等金額(以下簡稱不合格LNG價(jià)值)。對于因暫停作業(yè)而未卸載的不合格LNG量，買方可以：

　　Where either Party becomes aware that Off Spec LNG exists after the commencement of unloading of the cargo but before Completion of Unloading, then that Party shall promptly notify the other and either Party may then suspend unloading of such Off Spec LNG. Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted all of the Off Spec LNG unloaded prior to such suspension and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer as a result of Buyer’s receipt, treatment and disposal of the Off Spec LNG, provided that Seller’s liability to reimburse Buyer shall not exceed an amount equal to the product of the Quantity Delivered and the Contract Price (Off Spec LNG Value). With regard to the quantity of Off Spec LNG that has not been unloaded prior to the suspension, Buyer may:

　　予以接受，本情況下根據(jù)第4.3(b)(ii)條進(jìn)行處理;或

　　elect to accept it, in which case Clause 4.3 (b) (ii) shall apply; or

　　(ii) 予以拒絕，本情況下根據(jù)第4.8條進(jìn)行處理。

　　elect to reject it, in which case Clause 4.8 shall apply.

　　如果協(xié)議雙方在卸貨完成后才發(fā)現(xiàn)交付的LNG不合格，需認(rèn)定買方已經(jīng)接收了所有不合格LNG，針對買方因接收、處理或處置不合格LNG而導(dǎo)致買方承擔(dān)的所有損失、損害、成本或費(fèi)用，賣方需對買方進(jìn)行賠償，但是賣方的賠償責(zé)任不應(yīng)超過不合格LNG價(jià)值。為避免疑義，在本情況下，賣方無需向買方承擔(dān)第14條項(xiàng)下未能交付的附加責(zé)任。

　　If the Parties only become aware of the delivery of Off Spec LNG after Completion of Unloading, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted all of the Off Spec LNG and Seller shall reimburse Buyer in respect of all loss, damage, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer as a result of Buyer’s receipt, treatment and disposal of the Off Spec LNG, provided that Seller’s liability to reimburse Buyer shall not exceed the Off Spec LNG Value. For the avoidance of doubt, in this case Seller shall have no additional liability to Buyer for failure to deliver under Clause 14.

　　因第三方在不合格LNG的接收、處理或處置方面為買方提供服務(wù)而導(dǎo)致買方承擔(dān)的費(fèi)用，應(yīng)包括在賣方根據(jù)第4條向買方進(jìn)行賠償?shù)慕痤~之內(nèi)。但是，由于買方將(通過對賣方提供的LNG(包括不合格LNG)進(jìn)行氣化所得的)天然氣出售、供應(yīng)或交付給任何人員導(dǎo)致產(chǎn)生的損失或損害，而使買方需要承擔(dān)的責(zé)任，不應(yīng)包括在賣方根據(jù)第4條向買方進(jìn)行賠償?shù)慕痤~之內(nèi)。

　　The amounts to be reimbursed by Seller to Buyer under this Clause 4 shall include those costs incurred by Buyer in respect of services provided by Third Parties to Buyer in relation to the receipt, treatment or disposal of such Off Spec LNG, but shall not include any amount for which Buyer may be liable in respect of loss of or damage to any person to whom Natural Gas (resulting from the regasification of LNG (including Off Spec LNG) supplied by Seller) is sold, supplied or delivered.

　　如果買方根據(jù)第4條拒收或被認(rèn)定為拒收不合格LNG，賣方應(yīng)視為未能交付買方所拒收的不合格LNG量。賣方需根據(jù)第14條條款就未能交付向買方承擔(dān)責(zé)任，但是，為避免疑義，賣方有權(quán)將上述拒收的不合格LNG交付給任何第三方，且不受任何條件約束。

　　If Buyer rejects or is deemed to have rejected Off Spec LNG in accordance with this Clause 4, then Seller shall be deemed to have failed to deliver the quantity of Off Spec LNG rejected by Buyer. Seller shall therefore be liable to Buyer for such failure to deliver in accordance with the terms of Clause 14 but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be entitled to deliver such rejected Off Spec LNG to any Third Party without restriction.

　　本條第4條中的條款中，對買方針對不合格LNG的唯一補(bǔ)償方案予以了規(guī)定，賣方無需承擔(dān)本條第4條中規(guī)定以外的其它責(zé)任。The provisions of this Clause 4 set out the Buyer’s only remedies in respect of Off Spec LNG, and Seller shall have no other liability other than as set out in this Clause 4.

　　交付點(diǎn)DELIVERY POINT

　　賣方將LNG交付至買方的交付點(diǎn)為：LNG船舶卸貨管線的法蘭接頭出口面與買方設(shè)施接收管線的法蘭接頭進(jìn)口面的連接點(diǎn)(以下簡稱交付點(diǎn))。

　　Seller shall deliver LNG to Buyer at the point at Buyer’s Facilities where the outboard faces of the flange coupling of the unloading lines of the LNG Ship connect with the inlet faces of the flange coupling of the receiving lines at Buyer’s Facilities (the Delivery Point).

　　title to and risk of loss in the returned Natural Gas vapour shall pass from Buyer to Seller as the returned Natural Gas vapour passes the point at which the outboard face of the flange of the Seller’s return line joins the inlet face of the flange coupling of the return manifold of the LNG Ship.

　　如果所有權(quán)轉(zhuǎn)移點(diǎn)在公海：If the Title Transfer Point is in international waters, then:

　　當(dāng)LNG船舶駛離卸貨國領(lǐng)海之時(shí)起，LNG的所有權(quán)在公海由賣方轉(zhuǎn)移至買方，且不受扣押權(quán)、抵押品、利益、異議、特權(quán)和負(fù)債的影響;

　　title to all LNG on board the LNG Ship shall pass from Seller to Buyer in international waters at the point which is the last point where the LNG Ship is outside the territorial waters of the Unloading Country, free and clear of all liens, security, interests, adverse claims, privileges and encumbrances;

　　當(dāng)相關(guān)交易項(xiàng)下的LNG的所有權(quán)根據(jù)上述第6.3(a)條規(guī)定轉(zhuǎn)移至買方時(shí)：

　　where title to LNG to be sold and purchased under the relevant Transaction has passed to Buyer as specified in Clause 6.3(a) above and:

　　賣方隨后未能根據(jù)第14條交付部分或全部上述LNG，或被認(rèn)定為未能根據(jù)第14條交付部分或全部上述LNG;和/或

　　title to such LNG will revert to Seller at the moment that the LNG Ship next exits the territorial waters of the Unloading Country.

　　雖然所有權(quán)轉(zhuǎn)移點(diǎn)由協(xié)議雙方在相關(guān)確認(rèn)通知書中進(jìn)行規(guī)定，但是包括滅失和污染風(fēng)險(xiǎn)在內(nèi)的LNG風(fēng)險(xiǎn)(回流天然氣蒸發(fā)氣除外)均在交付點(diǎn)由賣方轉(zhuǎn)移至買方。
