Running Days
Per Lord Esher in Nielsen v Wait (1885) 16 QBD 67 at p.72:"Running days" are those days, on which a ship in the ordina course is running. It is true that when they are lay days, they do not take effect under charterparty until the ship has done running; but the parties are describing the days about wh they are talking, namely, days in a port, according to the phraseology which they use with regar to a ship at sea. "Running days" therefore mean the whole of every day when a ship is running.Read more here: http://www.caselawquotes.net/R/Running_Days.html
