A charter ship is a vessel that is hired for a specific voyage or amount of time. This means that the charterer (the person or company renting the ship) has control over where the ship goes, what it carries, and who operates it during the charter period. The ship may be owned by a shipping company or an individual, but it is made available for charter to generate revenue.
