Sub-chartering Clause Samples

The Sub-chartering clause defines the conditions under which a charterer may enter into a secondary charter agreement with another party for all or part of the vessel. Typically, this clause outlines whether sub-chartering is permitted, any restrictions or approvals required from the shipowner, and the responsibilities of the original charterer in such arrangements. Its core function is to clarify the rights and obligations regarding the vessel’s use by third parties, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring that the shipowner’s interests are protected if the vessel is sub-chartered.
