Fixation du fret. [...] Deux modes de calcul sont utilisés: le forfait et le prix à la quantité de marchandise transportée. Le forfait (on dit aussi dans le jargon maritimiste : «lumpsum» ou «lump freight») est dû par l'affréteur quelle que soit la quantité chargée, pourvu qu'elle ne dépasse pas celle qu'il a annoncée, compte tenu, au besoin, de la tolérance [...] Si par contre, l'affréteur chargeait plus qu'il n'était prévu (tolérance dépassée), il devrait un supplément de fret calculé en proportion du fret forfaitaire. 2, record 1, French, - fret%20forfaitaire
