Loading and unloading time;

Loading and unloading days or Laycan: refers to the date when the ship is expected to arrive at the port and prepare for loading. According to shipping practice, the loading period is usually a specified period of time, about 5- 15 days. If the ship fails to reach the loading port within this time limit, it will be regarded as a breach of contract by the shipowner, and the charterer has the right to terminate the contract and claim losses.

The loading and unloading time refers to the period determined by both parties in the voyage charter party through consultation, during which the shipowner guarantees that the ship will be used by the charterer for loading and unloading, and does not pay extra fees except freight, which is expressed in days, hours and tons of goods per day. The charter party usually stipulates: the starting time of loading and unloading (usually a certain time after the captain sends out the notice of readiness); Time periods not included in loading and unloading time, such as bad weather, weekends and holidays; Pay demurrage or transportation loss caused by exceeding the loading and unloading time, and pay dispatch fee caused by exceeding the loading and unloading time.
