Where there is a conflict between standard and rider terms, the rider clauses override the standard clauses. vii) may have many amendments to the standard clauses, as agreed by the parties. Generally, the more amendments there are, the more scope for legal disputes, and it is preferable to have as few amendments as possible. viii) may be in a modern “boxed” layout, with plain wording of clauses (as with BIMCO-designed forms), or in a more traditional style with (sometimes) rather archaic wording. ix) may contain annexes dealing with special arrangements (as with CRUISEVOY, which has five annexes) . x) may have sensitive clauses in an addendum and/or side letter. Side letters are legally not so important as addenda. xi) should be signed by a broker representing each party to the contract, unless their principals sign instead. xii) should ideally be balanced so that it does not favour one party to the disadvantage of the other. (Some charter parties, such as SUGAR CHARTER 1999, are sometimes accused of being biased. ) Numerous charter party forms are in use for different trades and purposes. The use of an “off-the-shelf” form which has been carefully drafted, amended and improved over the years to avoid legal pitfalls is generally preferred by brokers and shipping practitioners to creating a totally new document for an individual charter. Many forms have more than one edition, having been amended and improved over the years. Brokers may still use an older version, however, in preference to a newer version that has not gained their confidence. Modern charter party forms drafted by BIMCO9 generally have boxed layouts, whereas older forms are in “conventional” layout. In a BIMCO boxed layout form, variable information is contained in boxes in Part I, while standard terms are contained in printed terms in Part II. Legally, the contract is generally contained in the Part I details, and in any other variable details in rider clauses, etc. Voyage charter party forms Examples of voyage charter party forms used in various trades are as follows: Codename //Trade // Remarks AFRICANPHOS // Moroccan phosphates //Charterers’ form.
