This is a practical look at contracts of affreightment which examines the rights and liabilites of the parties, the drafting of agreements and their enforcement, and sets out to explain their use to the shipping community in general. Contracts of affreightment have developed as a separate category, taking in elements from the more traditional charter forms - time charters and voyage charters. The contracts vary in form and may be used in a variety of circumstances, sometimes involving more than one type of cargo or more than one type of vessel. This mixture of elements may lead to a number of problems, which the book aims to evaluate and illustrate. It provides a useful introduction for those members of the shippiing community who need a basic understanding of the use of this type of contract. For this second edition, the book has been explanded and updated, with the addition of case references to illustrate certain points and an example of a private contract of affreightment involving a dispute.
