What is Vessel Chartering?
Vessel chartering is the practice of renting or hiring a vessel (or ship) to transport goods from one port to another. It provides a flexible solution for businesses that require a dedicated vessel for transporting large quantities of cargo. Instead of purchasing and maintaining their own vessels, businesses can charter ships for a specific period or journey, allowing them to save on operational costs and manage their shipping needs more efficiently.
Vessel chartering is commonly used for the following types of cargo:
Bulk goods, such as agricultural products, oil, and minerals
Containerized cargo
Project cargo and heavy lift shipments
Liquid bulk, including crude oil, chemicals, and liquefied natural gas (LNG)
Chartering can be done on various terms, including:
Time charter: The vessel is hired for a specific period, during which the charterer is responsible for operating the vessel.
Voyage charter: The vessel is hired for a specific voyage, with the shipowner assuming responsibility for vessel operation.
Bareboat charter: The charterer takes control of the vessel for a specified period and is responsible for its operation and maintenance.
At Cargoburg Logistics, we offer customized vessel chartering services that suit the unique needs of our clients, whether they require bulk cargo transport, project cargo handling, or specialized shipping for hazardous materials.
