Chartering
Seamless Chartering for Cargo of Any Size, Anywhere

Chartering refers to the hiring or leasing of a sea going vessel for transportation, usually for a specific period or voyage. In maritime law, chartering involves a legal binding contract.

Types of Chartering

Chartering is a practice in the shipping and transportation industry where a shipowner leases out their vessel to another party, known as the charterer. The agreement outlines how the vessel will be used, for what period, and under what terms. There are several primary types of charters, each serving different needs:

Voyage Charter

The charterer hires the vessel for a single voyage to transport cargo from one location to another. The shipowner covers operational costs, such as port charges and fuel, and is responsible for the ship's crew.

Time Charter

The charterer hires the vessel for a specified period, often ranging from months to years. During this time, the charterer controls the commercial operation of the vessel but not the technical management or crew. The shipowner handles these aspects and provides a seaworthy vessel.

Bareboat Charter
(Demise Charter)

The charterer takes complete control of the vessel, including managing the crew and all operational aspects, as if it were their own. This type of charter is often for a long duration, and the charterer assumes greater responsibility for the vessel.

Key Chartering Terms

Charterer: The party renting the vessel.
Owner: The vessel's owner or operator.
Hire: The agreed-upon rental fee.
Laydays: Designated loading/unloading days.
Demurrage: Fees for exceeding laydays.

Chartering Process

Negotiation: Charterer and owner agree on terms.
Charter Party: Contract outlining terms and conditions.
Vessel Inspection: Pre-voyage inspection.
Loading/Unloading: Cargo handling.
Voyage Execution: Vessel operation.

Advantages

Flexibility: Customizable transportation solutions.
Cost-effectiveness: Economical for large or specialized cargo.
Expertise: Access to specialized vessels and operators.

Common Chartering Documents

Charter Party: Contract.
Bill of Lading: Cargo receipt.

Industries Using Chartering

Shipping: Dry bulk, tankers, container vessels.
Offshore: Oil/gas, wind farms, construction.
Cruise: Luxury passenger vessels.
Ferry: Passenger and vehicle transport.

Chartering is crucial for many industries (Oil & Gas, Manufacturing, Mining, Aerospace etc.),
as it provides flexibility in transporting goods without owning a fleet of ships.

Breakbulk
Delivering Oversized Solutions Worldwide
