Sea transport is indispensable for world trade, as it is the only option for the cheapest freight transport in large volumes at intercontinental distances, and its share reaches 90% among all transport modes.
Sea transportation is divided into two groups as tramp and liner transportation according to the continuity of the service. In liner transportation, which is also called regular line transportation, ships usually carry containers on the same line by calling at designated ports on certain dates within a pre-planned schedule. Some lines also serve as open cargo, and Ro-Ro ships operating between the same ports are also included in the liner transportation class. In tram transportation, large tonnages are transported, which can be classified as dry cargo, bulk cargo, petroleum and its products, natural gas and others. While “service” is the basis in liner transportation, “load” is based on tramp transportation. In tramp transports, their voyages are pre-planned, not tied to a specific program, and ships carry cargo to every corner of the world by going wherever they find profitable cargo in the free market.
Chartering We come across in Tramp transportation and it is carried out with charter parties. They are ship charter brokers, who negotiate on the articles of charter agreements in a way to protect the interests of the parties and provide the charter of the ships in the shipowner and charter companies that are the parties to the charter agreement.
Ship management is divided into commercial and technical management. While the commercial business covers all the work for the freight/rental of the ships in parallel with the purpose of making money and making profit, which is the purpose of existence of every business, the technical business includes the maintenance, repair, fueling and fueling in order to ensure that the ships are suitable for the load, sea and voyage in accordance with the international rules. , materials, provisions, transactions related to classification societies, certificates, ship personnel etc. supply and organization. Commercial operation is carried out by shipbrokers, and technical operation is carried out by deck and machinery inspectors.
While the fee received by the ship owner for performing the transportation service is called ‘freight’ in chartering a ship on a voyage basis, it is called ‘rent’ in chartering a bareboat ship on a time basis. While the commercial and technical administration remains with the owner in chartering a ship on a voyage basis, the technical administration remains with the owner and the commercial administration remains with the charterer in chartering a ship on a time basis. In bareboat chartering, the owner transfers both the commercial and technical management of the ship to the lessee, and the charter company is now the owner against third parties. Legally, the charter company in a bareboat charter is called the ship operating contractor (disponent owner). In the sector, companies that rent the ship as a time charter are called the disponent owner.
They can work in companies that equip ship chartering brokers, ship management contractors, commercial ship operators, as well as in importer, exporter and trader companies that may be in the position of lessee in the charter contract; Those who charter the ship in accordance with the goods bought and sold, negotiate freight/rent, negotiate the terms of the charter in favor of the charterer, closely follow the loading and unloading operations of the ship to avoid demurrage, solve the problems, and make demurrage-dispatch calculations at the end of the voyage. leasing broker is also rarely called freight broker.
