Lightering Clause Samples

The Lightering clause defines the terms and conditions under which cargo can be transferred from one vessel to another, typically to reduce the draft of a ship so it can enter ports with depth restrictions. This process often involves moving part of the cargo from a larger vessel to a smaller one while at sea or at anchorage, and the clause will specify responsibilities for costs, risks, and procedures during the operation. Its core practical function is to facilitate safe and efficient cargo delivery when direct port access is limited, thereby ensuring the voyage can be completed without unnecessary delays or hazards.
