If you need to move a one-off shipment and want cost certainty, Voyage Charter is a solid option: you pay for a single voyage and the carrier runs the operation.

Key benefits

• Predictable costs (voyage freight agreed in advance).
• Lower operational burden for the shipper.
• Ideal for sporadic or project-based moves.

When it fits

When origin/destination, laycan and cargo specs are clear; and you don’t need continuous operational control. Common in commodity or project shipments with defined volume.

Good practices

• Define laycan and load/discharge terms precisely.
• Review demurrage/despatch and force majeure clauses.
• Check draft limitations, gear and terminal requirements.
