International Trade
Shipping
Different kinds of ships - there are more than 100.000 commercial/merchant ships in the world - some of them are general cargo ships, others are specialized ships that are use for carrying one type of cargo, others are passenger ships - the passenger ships have been taken over by the airline companies, so many of them have gone out of service - nowadays it is common to travel by sea on a cargo boat which is also passenger ship (combination: cargo ships + passenger ships) - chartered vessels (nave ȋnchiriate) = do not follow fixed regular routes, are hired to go wherever they are needed - a company wanting to charter a vessel will apply to one of the world ship company (ex. Baltin Exchange London) – a broker who acts as a charter agent is looking for a ship; his job is to find the right type of ship at the lowers possible price - the ship owners brokers (armatorii), who want to charter out (give out) their ships also apply; the broker’s job is to charter the ship at a nice price; they will negotiate the terms and price of the ship - the price depends on the market; if there are many ships and a few charterers, the price will be low - the contract concluded is called the charter party (= contract de navlosire) - most of the charter ships in the Baltin are cargo ships (they are bulk carriers) * bulk (en gros) ≠ retail, outlet (en detail) * let out = sell => outlet - cargo liner companies = companies
