About this Training Course

During the early days of the industry, liquefied natural gas (LNG) was carried almost exclusively under time charter terms and conditions. Originally, the majority of LNG was sold by the producers under Long Term DES (Delivery Ex Ship) sale and purchase agreements, with ships chartered under long term time charters by the producers.


Recently, there has been a move towards shorter-term contracts and FOB sales resulting in a spot market beginning to develop, with spot
LNG cargoes being carried on trip time charter terms. BIMCO and GIIGNL have developed this new voyage charter party to allow greater flexibility and meet the needs of owners and charterers in the LNG sector.


This course will provide both an overview and in-depth look into the various clauses of a
LNG charter party and issues which need to be addressed during the negotiation stage and what pitfalls to avoid.


The participants with gain valuable insights into the actual workings of a charter party in the
LNG trade and to pre-empt and identify the uncertainties and how best to deal with them. Time and voyage charter parties will be reviewed in detail and the participants will be made to appreciate the differences between them and to know which would be appropriate for any particular voyage.


Lastly, the course will also deal with charter party disputes and how best to effectively manage them.
