Charter parties and other contracts involving ships

For the purpose of entering into a ship charter agreement, a large number of standard contracts and special clauses are available depending on trade and the type of goods to be transported. The freight rates or hire to be paid under a charter party can be very high, and there may be a significant risk of incurring liability for damage to the ship or the goods. It is therefore often relevant to seek legal assistance before entering into a charter party contract.
