Question 1 of 27070

Which term defines a Contract of Affreightment covering the movement of a particular cargo from one designated port to another at a specified rate for each ton of goods loaded?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Contract of Affreightment as a promise to carry cargo vs. a lease of the vessel • Difference between voyage, time, and bareboat/demise charter parties • How freight is commonly calculated: per ton of cargo vs. per day of hire

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is the question focusing on hiring the ship itself, or on transporting a specific cargo between two ports? • Which type of charter typically specifies freight as a rate for each ton loaded on a particular trip, rather than a daily rate or a long‑term use of the vessel? • Do bareboat/demise or time charters usually describe a specific single cargo from Port A to Port B, or do they give the charterer wider use of the ship over a period?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether the arrangement is mainly about carriage of a specific cargo on a specific trip or about use/control of the vessel over time • Check which charter type is associated with payment as freight per ton of cargo instead of hire per day/month • Eliminate options that imply possession and operation of the vessel (crew, navigation responsibility) rather than just transport of goods
