Affreightment refers to the process of engaging a ship, or a portion of a ship, for the transportation of goods. For instance, a shipping company might enter into an affreightment agreement with a vessel owner to transport a consignment of timber from South America to Europe. Thus, affreightment is a crucial aspect of international maritime trade.
