“…Within the shipping business practice, ‘ chartering ’ may be simplistically defined as the act or procedure that deals with vessels’ commercial employment, cargoes’ international transport and often their appropriate matching. Chartering or similar sea transport engagements, including booking transportation of cargoes with liner ships, can be based on different methods and principles, as follows (Plomaritou and Papadopoulos 2018 , p. 220): From a functional point of view , the most important distinction of charter types is made among a voyage charter, a time charter, a bareboat charter and some hybrid forms. Chartering vessels in the open market on a charter party basis versus liner services provided on a booking note basis.…”

Previous research offering a comprehensive overview of digitalisation in maritime transport is limited. In this paper, the authors use several cases to examine digitalisation’s role in the chartering business. The applications of innovative digitalisation to enhance efficiency in the shipping business are presented analytically. Special emphasis is given to the role of the e-bill of lading in the bulk and liner markets. The advantages, disadvantages and legal barriers of the e-bill of lading are examined thoroughly for both markets (bulk and liner markets). The research follows a qualitative case study approach. It shows that although digital technologies offer important advantages in the chartering business, many legal barriers still need to be overcome. The findings fill the gap in the literature and assist maritime professionals and shipping companies in understanding the necessity of digitalisation in chartering business.

“…Types of chartering are grouped under two: "the voyage charter" and "the time charter" (Plomaritou, 2014;Plomaritou and Papadopoulos, 2018). Other types include "bareboat/demise charter" and "contract of affreightment" (Ülgener, 2016, p. 5;Wilford, Coghlin, and Kimball, 1995); however, bareboat/demise charter is Open Access Refereed E-Journal & Indexed & Puplishing ideastudies.com ideastudiesjournal@gmail.com one of the time charters in terms of undertaking.…”

“…For example, a person who is a "ship broker" may be working in the position of "charter manager" in a grain trading company, or s/he may work as a "charter specialist" in a shipowner's company. Shipbroking companies are divided into two different sub-types according to the relations with their customers and their position in the market: "exclusive" or "competitive" (Şendur, 2019;Lopez, 1992;Plomaritou & Papadopoulos, 2018). From an individual point of view, they can be "in-house" or "outsourced."…”

“…One of the main reasons for this is that the volume and mobility of the ship chartering market is greater than the sales and purchase market. The income of these two ship brokers is significantly different as well (Plomaritou & Papadopoulos, 2018). As the shipbroking industry in Turkey and in many other countries is a perfectly competitive market, there is freedom of entry and exit, in other words, there are no economic, legal, and technological barriers.…”

Many people or organizations are involved in this cargo and ship traffic in maritime transport; most notable among them is ship brokers. This study, not only questions the qualifications that those who practice or plan to practice the profession of shipbroking already have or should have, and the level of quality expected from their services, but also explores the adaptation of shipbroking to today's conditions and its timeless values. Drawing on phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods, this study has a sample of 15 expert participants who are ship chartering brokers that operate across Turkey. The participants include both the parties receiving the brokerage service and the parties providing this service, and the reliability of the data is thus enhanced. The data are collected through semi-structured interview method and analyzed by content analysis and descriptive analysis methods. Further, using the Maxqda program, this study presents a word cloud of the qualifications that ship brokers should be equipped with and thus visualizes the data. This study concludes that ship brokers are needed due to the structural features of maritime transportation, and that honesty and professional qualifications are the key values in the profession of shipbroking. Besides, it reveals that it is important for ship brokers to constantly improve themselves and adapt to changing technologies to survive in this profession.

“…While the charterparty is that document which embodies the written form of the vessel's charter agreement, containing the terms and conditions which govern the relationship between the shipowner and the charterer, the bill of lading is that transport document which relates to the cargo carriage, governs the relationship between the shipper and the carrier and it is issued either upon the goods being received for shipment (received for shipment bill of lading) or traditionally, upon their shipment on board the ship (shipped bill of lading) [1].…”

The bill of lading plays a vital role in international trade. In addition, the charterparty is a legal contract of employing a vessel between the shipowner and the charterer. In shipping matters, charterparty and bill of lading are highly important documents since they allocate risks, obligations, rights, earnings, costs and profits between the contracted parties, namely the shipowner (or carrier) and the charterer (or shipper). Therefore, this paper constitutes an overview of the commercial and legal aspects ensued from the relationship between the bill of lading, the charterparty and other documents such as booking note, cargo manifest, mate’s receipt, delivery order etc. Furthermore, this paper examines the life cycle of bill of lading and charterparty in the bulk and liner markets and how this will be affected by the digitalisation in shipping. The analysis is based on the shipping practices followed in accordance with the legal regime of bill of lading and charterparty.
