The term is derived from an old meaning of "tramp" as itinerant beggar or vagrant, and is first documented in the 1880s, along with "ocean tramp" (at the time many sailing vessels engaged in irregular trade as well).

There are several tramp charter types for hiring vessels.


CHARTER TYPES

  • voyage charter is the charter or hiring of a vessel and crew for a one-time trip or voyage.

  • time charter is hiring of a vessel for a specific amount of time, the owner still manages the vessel but the charterer selects the ports of destination and controls the operation of the ship.

  • bareboat charter is an arrangement for the hiring of a vessel, whereby no administer or technical maintenance are included as party of the agreement.

  • demised charter shifts the control and possession of the vessel; the charterer takes full control of the vessel along with the legal and financial responsibility for it.
