"Charter" - a word that has come into the Russian language from the German.Literally translated as "goods".Originally had several meanings: the carriage of goods by sea;payment for it;themselves conveyed object.Nowadays, the definition is much broader understanding of the freight.The reason for this phenomenon - the fact that the freight has been undertaken not only by water.
Charter - a payment for the use of transport when moving large quantities of goods at a certain distance.Such means may be a transport truck, aircraft, ship and so forth.Sea freight is still the most common form of transportation.It includes not only payment for the transportation of passengers and goods, but also in certain cases for the loading and delivery to the desired location.
Charter - a service that is after the conclusion of the contract.It must be made in writing.This document should be coordinated details such as cost, location, terms of loading and delivery route.The service is often paid after the end of the carriage.The price of transportation may depend on the tariff established by the contract for a unit of weight or volume or lump sum charged for the use of the entire vehicle or part thereof.In the latter case we are talking about lyumpsume - a fixed amount of payment.Usually it will be charged when immersed heterogeneous product weight and volume of which is difficult to install.
Payment is determined by agreement of the parties.The size of freight, as well as price, as established under the agreement.If the number of objects transported in the contract does not mention anything, it is determined, based on the rates which apply to the loading point.
so-called "dead" freight - a payment for goods which the customer had to show for the transportation, but did not.In practice, this means that the shipper in the contract indicated the number of transported objects, but could not provide them in full.However, of the total payment indicated in the document, it is not released.
There is also such a thing as return freight.For example, items can not be sent to the destination port for any reason that is not dependent on the carrier.In this case, the goods are transported back.
Freight ship pay or port of departure or the place of delivery, or in parts.However, most often it is done when transporting cargo.After all, the right to receive the freight there is the shipowner at the time of execution of the terms of the agreement.As the carrier, it bears commercial risks and is fully responsible for the safety of the cargo.If the product was not delivered, then, regardless of the reasons for this (for example, the loss of the ship), any commitments made by the client, the shipowner will not be eligible to receive freight.Terms of payment and the time of their implementation may be different due to certain objective reasons.The contract of marine insurance enables shipowners guarantee an award.In certain cases, the payer may be the consignee.
