In a Voyage Charter, the charterer hires the vessel for a single voyage, while the vessel’s owner provides the master, crew, bunkers and supplies. In a Time Charter, the vessel is hired for a specific amount of time. The vessel’s owner still manages the vessel but the charterer directs the vessel’s operation, and may sub-charter the vessel.
