Marine Charter
Ship Chartering or Marine Chartering using marine charters is the act of hiring out a ship or vessel. Ships can be hired out to another individual or company. Borrowing periods are structured as either a Demise charter, voyage charter, or time charter. Marine charters can in essence be as varied and unique as the vessels themselves. They can span a range from the hiring of a sailboat for a romantic sunset on the water, a chartered fishing trip, a luxury yacht for weekend or even a commercial liner for the transportation of goods abroad.
The chartering business is a way ship owners can monetize unutilized vessel time that would otherwise be an expense. Some vessel owners may make use of various “shipbrokers” to increase usage and lessen downtime. The cost of chartering a craft is correlated to the size of the ship and time rented. Costs can range from the thousands up to millions of dollars. Charter operators employ administrative staff and skilled marine operators. Marine chartering businesses run using on premise software and software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology. These applications manage staff like deck hands and general laborers, and handle records for scheduling, maintenance, catering, accounting, invoicing, billing and marine charter payments.
