English

Subject field(s)
  • Maritime Organizations
  • Maritime Law
  • Foreign Trade
DEF

Two or more shipping lines operating a service in common between designated geographical areas.

OBS

The lines agree on a set of freight rates and any special rates for shippers and each line charges the same as the others. The ships used are of types suitable for the trade. Unlike tramp shipping where freight rates are a function of daily supply and demand, conference rates are relatively stable : base rates are altered by means of a general rate increase which in many cases is once a year. Lines in a conference are governed by the rules of membership which may include rights to load or discharge at certain ports and pooling of cargo.

shipping conference: term standardized by CGSB [Canadian General Standards Board].

DEF

Agrupación de líneas marítimas que hacen una misma ruta, y que se ponen de acuerdo con la finalidad de informar y estabilizar los fletes y suministrar los servicios en las condiciones de explotación que se fije para esa ruta, se le denomina Conferencia Marítima, Conferencia de Fletes o Conferencia Naviera.

OBS

La conferencia es pues un oligopolio que elimina toda competencia, no solo de fletes, sino en condiciones de prestación del servicio, en tal forma que el usuario no tiene ninguna alternativa para buscar fletes más económicos ni para lograr un mejor servicio.

Record 7 2001-08-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Foreign Trade
  • Water Transport
DEF

The return of a portion of the freight charges by a carrier or a conference shipper in exchange for the shipper giving all or most of his shipments to the carrier or conference over a specified period of time(usually 6 months). Payment of the rate is deferred for a further similar period, during which the shipper must continue to give all or most of his shipments to the rebating carrier or conference. The shipper thus earns a further rebate which will not, however, be paid without an additional period of exclusive or almost exclusive patronage with the carrier of conference. In this way, the shipper becomes tied to the rebating carrier or conference. Although, the deferred rebate system is illegal in U. S. foreign commerce, it generally is accepted in the ocean trade between foreign countries.
