CERTIFICATE IN CHARTERING

COURSE DIRECTOR
Alex McIntosh
Partner, Clyde & Co.

Dear Colleague,
This course is designed to give all those involved with
charterparties a practical, commercial and legal introduction to
their background.
As anyone in the industry knows, ships and shipping is expensive and time
is money so it is essential that contracts governing their use ensure they are
operated to maximum commercial advantage.
Charterparties are highly detailed contracts and a thorough
understanding of their complexities is essential in order to ensure the best
practical contractual terms are obtained.
This distance learning course give a wide range of professionals this knowledge
and the confidence through:
Providing up to date regulations and guidance on drafting accurate
charterparties
Explaining what terms to put into and leave out of a charterparty as well as
understanding the reasons why
Understanding how it affects other obligations and other contracts concerned
with the voyage or vessel operation
Demonstrating the legal and practical solutions to problems as well as how to
avoid them by effective planning
Seafaring and operational personnel will also find value in gaining an
understanding of the contracts affecting their roles in the shipping of goods
worldwide whilst those involved in the associated legal sectors will gain
commercial knowledge of the contracts within the maritime industry.
Compiled by specialists, the individual modules highlight all the important issues
showing how even a small mistake in drafting a charterparty, or in understanding
its terms, could cause a significant financial loss a burden no-one can afford.
Delivered by distance learning, this cost and time-effective Certificate in
Chartering can be accessed wherever you are in the world. The materials and
online tests can be accessed from the start date for 18 weeks, allowing you to set
the pace of your study over the duration of the course. Expert tutorial support
is offered via an online course forum, where you can also interact with your
fellow students from varied backgrounds all over the world.
I look forward to welcoming you onto this stimulating and enjoyable
programme.
