Nautical Term: FHEX
Definition of FHEX
The nautical term ‘Fridays/Holidays Excluded’ (FHEX) refers to specific days that are not included in a particular sailing schedule or voyage. These excluded days are typically Fridays and holidays, although other days may also be excluded.
For example, consider a container ship that sails weekly between Europe and the United States. The sailing schedule for this ship specifies that the voyage will depart from the European port every Monday and arrive at the US port every Thursday. According to this schedule, Fridays and holidays are excluded days. If a Friday or holiday falls during the sailing week, the ship will typically depart or arrive on an alternate day, such as a Tuesday or a Saturday, to avoid the excluded day.
