Ship Chartering

Ship chartering is the process by which a shipowner rents out their vessel to a charterer for a specified period of time and for a specific purpose, such as transporting cargo or passengers.

Types of Ship Charter Arrangements

  • Voyage Charter In a voyage charter, the shipowner agrees to transport cargo from one port to another for a specific fee, usually based on the amount of cargo being transported or a set rate per ton of cargo. The charterer is responsible for paying all expenses related to the voyage, such as fuel, port charges, and loading/unloading costs.
  • Time Charter Under a time charter, the charterer hires the vessel for a specific period of time, which can range from a few months to several years. The charterer has more control over the commercial aspects of the vessel, including its route, but the shipowner retains responsibility for the vessel’s maintenance, crew, and other operational costs.
