About this course
In this short course, we look at what charterparties are and then we shift the focus onto voyage charterparties. We look at the various aspects and unique features of voyage charterparties like the payment obligations, namely freight, how freight is calculated, when freight is payable and by who, and remedies for non-payment.
We continue with laytime, Notice of Readiness (NOR) and demurrage.
All these things listed here are unique features which only occur in voyage charter parties and are not found in time charterparties, or demise charterparties. These are all unique features which have evolved over the centuries through maritime practice.
