The Charter Business Part 3

Offshore Explorer with Scott Dodgson

The voyage that never ends.

I was asked by charterers over my years generally the same question but in different forms, “Are we one of the best charter groups you have ever had?” or “We weren’t the worst charter, were we?” In other words, “who was the worst charterer? What were they like and what did they do?” My reply was if you are asking this question, you probably feel comfortable about your behavior and your charter has been successful.

If you didn’t ask the question, it is because you didn’t care or you were so bad everyone knew the answer, yes you are in the hall of fame of worst charterers!

I admit that over the years there were a few charters I conducted that weren’t up to grade, because of weather, equipment failures, bad temperament, accident, and stupidity. Sometimes all those types of things happened, and we still managed to have a great time.
