charterers

Vessel rental clients

Charterers are those who hire vessels, aircraft, or vehicles for temporary use.

A charterer might rent an entire ship to transport cargo, or book a plane for a private flight.

The term appears most often in maritime and aviation contexts: The charterers were responsible for fuel costs during the voyage.

In legal and commercial usage, the charterer contracts with the owner but doesn't take ownership of the vessel.
