This book examines and explains the law relevant to bareboat or demise charterparties, a common form of maritime contract used by both operators of vessels and also as a form of lease finance. Its principal aim is to set out a structured analysis of all the rights and obligations of the parties to a bareboat charter. This will include consideration of the nature of the contract, its uses (both historical and current) in the market, and the key clauses in the standard form and commentary thereon.

Providing a clause-by-clause analysis commentary on all the provisions of the BIMCO BARECON, and all decisions relevant to those clauses, Bareboat Charters addresses important topics such as termination, repossession and damages from an English law standpoint, adding useful guidance for practitioners. It considers general issues of contract and/or maritime law so far as they relate to bareboat charters, and extracts or summarises key passages of important case law.

This book will serve as the standard reference work on the law relating to bareboat charters, providing comprehensive treatment of the subject, accessible and useful to shipping lawyers and also to shipowners, charterers, P&I Clubs, and other insurers.
