🔍 Key Concepts

• Types of charters: time, voyage, bareboat (demise), and lease arrangements • Who has possession and control of the vessel, including crewing and the Master • Meaning of "owner for a time" and how it relates to operational vs. commercial control

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In this scenario, who is actually operating and manning the vessel day-to-day, and who is just hiring its services? • Which charter type gives the charterer the role closest to that of an actual owner, including responsibility for the Master and crew? • Does the owner keeping the right to approve the Master mean they gave up full possession, or are they retaining some control while still letting the charterer run the ship?

✅ Before You Answer

• Clarify which charter type normally includes transfer of possession and control of the vessel to the charterer • Identify which charter type usually has the shipowner retain the crew and Master, providing transport service for the charterer • Check which option best matches the phrase "owner for a time" as used in licensing and exam materials
