In any proceedings by the master of a ship or a person employed in a ship

sum was due to—

(b) a reasonable dispute as to liability;
(c) the act or default of the person claiming the amount; or
(d) any other cause, not being the wrongful act or default of the
person liable to make the payment,

7 days after the sum became due and ending when the sum is paid.
