Additional Definitions:

Chartering:

An agreed deal, whereby the ship-owner puts his ship or a part of it at the disposal of the charterer, for the carriage of goods between named ports. The charterer can in turn, sublet the ship or a part of it to a third party, who now becomes the “Despondent Owner”. The chartering agreement is contained in a document, called “Charter Party”.

Booking Note:

Voyage Carter:

(in the tramp trade) in which a cargo ship is chartered for a one-way sailing trip/voyage between specified seaports, with a specified cargo at a negotiated and agreed rate of freight (the price per weight ton or volume CBM).

Time Charter:

the charterer undertakes to hire the ship for a stated agreed period of time or for a specified round-trip sailing or, occasionally but rare, for a stated one-way voyage, the rate of hire being expressed in terms of so much per ton deadweight per month, or otherwise agreed. Whereas on a voyage charter the ship-owner bears all the expenses of the cargo ship voyage, on time charter the charterer will be responsible for these bills, (subject to contract terms-conditions).

Contract of Affreightment-COA:

Is a contract between the ship-owner and the charterer in which the ship-owner agrees to carry the goods (the loaded quantities are not taken into account, but the cargo ship space availability) in a certain lump-sum/fixed price amount from loading location/s to discharging location/s as agreed and accepted by the parties in the contract.
