Therefore, in order for the contract of sale and purchase of goods to be performed, the buyer or seller must hire a ship, boat, etc. to carry the goods. Renting a ship, boat, etc. to carry goods is to sign a contract for the carriage of goods by river/waterway.

This contract is also the agreement and contract between two parties (carrier and charterer), whereby the carrier will use ships, boats, etc. to carry goods from one port to another in order to collect the goods. the freight charged by the lessee is obliged to pay as committed and agreed upon before.
