A further type of standard charter party form is the private form (sometimes called a 'house charter party'), which is issued and employed by individual firms. One of the main advantages from the use of such forms is that often the parties to a charter contract are domiciled in different countries and that the negotiations, which to a great extent are carried out through the intermediary of one or several brokers, are often performed under considerable time pressure. 2, record 3, English, - private%20form
