Why Charter A Vessel?

Expertise and Experience

Chartering a vessel allows you to select the most suitable vessel type, size, and features to accommodate your unique cargo requirements.

Flexibility

Chartering allows you to tailor your shipping schedule and routes to your needs rather than relying on fixed-liner services.

Cost-Effective

Chartering can often be more cost-effective when shipping large volumes or irregular freight than booking space on a scheduled ship

Privacy & Security

With a chartered vessel, your cargo is the main focus, reducing the risk of damage or loss associated with shared space on regular shipping routes.

Different Types Of Vessel Charters

At SLG Logistics, we offer a range of vessel chartering options to accommodate the diverse needs of our clients. Our experienced team works closely with you to determine the most suitable type of charter for your cargo requirements.

Voyage Charter

A voyage charter involves hiring a vessel and crew for a single voyage between two ports. This option is ideal when you have a one-time shipment or require a flexible shipping schedule. With a voyage charter, you pay for the vessel’s cargo transportation from the loading port to the destination port, with the shipowner responsible for the vessel’s operation and expenses.

Time Charter

A time charter means you hire a vessel for a specific period of time rather than for a single trip. This benefits companies with regular shipping routes within ASEAN, allowing for greater control over the vessel’s schedule and operations. The charterer pays for the use of the ship and its crew daily or monthly, while the shipowner remains responsible for the vessel’s technical management and crew.

Demise Charter

Also known as a bareboat charter, a demise charter involves hiring a vessel without its crew. This option gives whoever is chartering complete control over the ship during the hiring time. Demise charters are suitable for organisations with their crew and ability to manage the ship’s operations independently.
