Duration

For those of you who don't have a spare $10 million to buy your own freighter, there's a less costly alternative: chartering. And you'll learn all about it in this course, which focuses on ship chartering practice, with special reference to certain commonly encountered difficulties, charterparty types, clauses and uses, dispute resolution and more. This is the last course you'll need to earn your Certifcate in Marine Transportation and when you pass it, the world of shipping will open its doors to you. Congratulations in advance.
