Question 3031 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Voyage charter party. In a voyage charter party, the charterer hires the vessel to carry a specific cargo from one port to another for a stipulated rate per ton or other unit of cargo. This matches the scenario described, where the vessel has a charter party to carry a full load of manganese from Durban, South Africa, to Baltimore, Maryland, at a stipulated rate per ton. The other options are incorrect because they describe different types of charter parties - a time charter party involves hiring the vessel for a set period of time, a demise or bareboat charter party involves hiring the vessel and crew, and a time charter party is a hybrid of the two.
