Charterparty Disputes

Charterparty disputes arise from agreements between shipowners and charterers regarding the hire of a vessel. These agreements outline the terms of use, responsibilities, and payment. In maritime casualties, such as accidents or damage, disputes can emerge over issues like who is liable for repairs, loss of cargo, or delays. Resolving these disputes often involves legal processes, potentially including arbitration, to determine who is responsible based on the contract's terms. Understanding these agreements is essential for fair resolutions and maintaining the business relationship between the parties involved.
