The principles from these cases must be applied by lower courts and arbitration tribunals. Indeed, there are numerous arbitration awards* that have applied the good weather method as described by The Didymi and The Gas Enterprise (*hyplerlink these words to LA awards that apply the Didymi/Gas Enterprise concepts). The good weather method as described through case law may be applied as follows:
(1) Complying with the charter party good weather definition, good weather days are assessed to measure the good weather speed / consumption.
(2) The time / consumption for the whole voyage at the good weather speed / consumption is compared to the time / consumption for the whole voyage at the charter party speed / consumption.
(3) The difference between (1) and (2) above represents a time loss (or savings) / over-consumption (or under-consumption).
