11. Charter Party Bill of Lading
- Container transportation may not be suitable for some occasions such as bulk commodity trades and heavy lift/out of gauge movements. On these occasions, in which liner services could not be utilized, shippers may choose to hire a vessel as an alternative.
- Hiring a vessel is called “Charter Party” in maritime terminology.
- Transport document issued by the hiring party of the vessel, or charterer as we call them, is called “Charter Party Bill of Lading“.
- Charter party bill of lading is covered under article 22 of the UCP 600.
