Voyage Disputes

Voyage disputes in the context of charter parties refer to conflicts between a shipowner and a charterer about the terms of using a vessel for a specific journey. These disputes may arise over issues like delays, cargo damage, payment disagreements, or failure to follow the agreed route. A charter party is a contract detailing the rights and responsibilities of both parties for the voyage. Resolving these disputes often involves negotiation, arbitration, or legal proceedings, depending on the contract's terms and the nature of the disagreement.
