Overview
Time Charters Masterclass Online is a series of 10 online sessions delivered over 5 days. Each day will run for 120 minutes with a short break in between and will cover essential time chartering issues.
What will you learn?
Time charters is a complex business. The shipowners give the time charterers substantial control over the commercial operation of the vessel in exchange for the regular payment of hire.
Under time charter, shipowners rely heavily on the financial standing of the charterers both in relation to the payment of hire and in relation to the indemnity, which the charterers have promised should the shipowners suffer any costs, damage, losses or liability as a result of carrying out the charterers’ orders. Similarly, the charterers rely heavily on the shipowners’ ability to provide them with the agreed service throughout the charter period as they will be entering into sub-contracts with third parties in reliance on such ability.
The aim of this course is to highlight the various problem areas and to consider ways in which parties attempt to allocate risk and so provide you with a balanced understanding of the relevant legal principles and practice.

What do participants say about the course?
“The choice of the trainer was spot on to turn a quite dry material into a very accessible course. The training was focused on some of the greater "pain" factors in the industry and was very practical. Highly recommendable.” (Time Charters Masterclass participant, Sept 2020)
“The course has made me think differently about issues and disputes I currently face.” (Time Charters Masterclass participant, Sept 2020)How will this course help your professional development?
This course will assist you in identifying the potential challenges in advance and enable you to ask the right questions to the parties involved, thereby helping you to understand and explain your own risks and exposures.
After the course, you will have a have a much deeper understanding of the fundamental functions of charter parties and how they fit into commercial shipping operations. You will be able to discuss legal issues with your superiors, P&I clubs or legal counsels.
This course is targeted for shipping professionals who are relatively new to commercial shipping or those working in shipping operation, chartering or law, who require refreshers on TC.Course certification
