Chartering Shipping Services
Chartering shipping involves the rental of an entire vessel or part of its cargo space for transporting goods. This method is particularly beneficial for businesses with large or specialized cargo that may not fit standard containerized shipping options. Chartering offers flexibility and customization to meet specific transportation needs.
Types of Chartering
Voyage Charter: In a voyage charter, the charterer rents the vessel for a specific voyage between designated ports. The shipowner manages the vessel’s operations, including crew and fuel costs. This is typically used for transporting bulk commodities like grain, coal, or oil.
Time Charter: With a time charter, the charterer leases the vessel for a specific period. The charterer has operational control over the vessel, determining its voyages and cargo, while the shipowner retains responsibility for the vessel’s crew and maintenance. This option offers greater flexibility in scheduling and route planning.
Bareboat Charter: In a bareboat charter, the charterer leases the vessel without crew or provisions. The charterer assumes full responsibility for the vessel’s operation and maintenance during the charter period. This type of charter is often used for longer-term projects and can be customized to the charterer’s specific requirements.
