define:chartering

Chartering is an activity within the shipping industry. In some cases a charterer may own cargo and employs a shipbroker to find a ship to deliver the cargo for a certain freight rate. Freight rates may be on a per-ton basis over a certain route (e.g. for iron ore between Brazil and China) or alternatively may be expressed in terms of a total sum - normally in U.S. dollars - per day for the agreed duration of the charter.
