Vessel Chartering Process

- Identify the suitable vessel based on the size, quality, cost and the desired timeline.
- Negotiating terms includes reaching an agreement on the charter rate, laytime (the allotted time for loading and unloading cargo), demurrage (fees for exceeding laytime), and other conditions specified in the charter party agreement.
- Once negotiations are finalized, a charter party agreement is drafted. This legally binding document details the terms and conditions of the charter, such as the type of charter, payment terms, responsibilities, and any additional clauses.
