Charter Party Agreements
Bin Ali Law Firm is one of the only Saudi law firms that focuses on both the transactional side and the litigation side of charter party agreements.
Different charter parties impose different obligations, exclusions, and limitations between each entity. For this reason, both shipowners and charterers should consider seeking sound and practical legal advice before drafting, amending or complementing any time charter, voyage charter, or bareboat charter party.
During a contentious charter party dispute, shipowners and charterers should be especially aware of their legal exposures and contractual liabilities.
With experience in bareboat, time and voyage charters, contracts of affreightment and slot charters, dry bulk and containerized cargoes, oil, gas and products, we regularly acts on behalf of the region’s largest shipowners and charterers. Indeed, our expertise in transactional and contentious charter party matters gives us an invaluable perspective we can foresee the problems that might arise and take steps to avoid them.
