Author's Note
《租船實(shí)務(wù)與法律(英文版)/雙語教材》:
4.2 Quantity of cargo
It is the liability of the charterer to provide the nominated intended cargo and the charterer also shall provide enough cargo as agreed in the contract.Otherwise, the charterer may pay dead freight for shortage of providing.So generally in the charter party, whenever we talk about the quantity of the cargo, about the duty of providing of the charterer, it says the charterer shall provide, for example, 100, 000 tons grain and it should be a full and complete cargo more or less.
Full and complete cargo (滿艙滿載貨物)
So we may find the following descriptions concerned with this point.
—full and complete cargo xxx tonnage more or less at shipowner's option/charterer's option
—full and complete cargo xxx tonnage, not exceeding xxx tons, not less than xxx tons
So here whatever the kind of the words are used, they all mentions "full and complete cargo",among which "full" means full cargo describes its nature from the space, for the charterer must provide as much cargo as the space capacity of the vessel may reach.While the "complete" cargo just describes the nature of the deadweight capacity, that is, the vessel's deadweight capacity is fully used up to the maximum.
Stowage factor (積載因素)
When quantities are stated during the negotiations, in the charter agreement and in instructions, the type of ton referred to should always be explicitly mentioned.It is thus not sufficient to say, for instance, 5,000tons.It must also be stated what kind of tons are meant—metric tons, long tons, etc.This can also be important when the stowage factor is used.
