Charterers

Charterers are individuals or companies that rent a ship or a vessel from its owner for the transportation of goods or passengers. This arrangement is often formalized in a contract called a charter party, which outlines the terms of use, duration, and payment. Charterers can be involved in various shipping operations, including bulk cargo transportation or cruise services. By chartering a ship, they can access maritime transport without the cost and responsibility of owning a vessel, allowing for flexibility in logistics and business operations.
