AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) voyage charter party. A voyage charter party is a contract of affreightment that covers the movement of a particular cargo from one designated port to another at a specified rate for each ton of goods loaded. It is distinct from other types of charter parties, such as: A) bareboat charter party, which involves the hire of a vessel without crew or provisions. C) demise charter party, which is a form of bareboat charter. D) time charter party, which involves the hire of a vessel and crew for a specific period of time. The key distinguishing feature of a voyage charter party is that it is focused on a specific cargo and voyage, rather than the hire of the vessel itself over a period of time.
