    Sea Transport Shipping Terms

    What is the difference between the shipping terms “Full Liner Terms” and “Liner Terms Hook”?

    Full Liner Terms generally implies that the freight amount provided includes both shore based and on-board stevedoring, lashing/unlashing, dunnage materials used inside the vessel’s hold, securing/unsecuring and all costs of delivering to/receiving the cargo from alongside; leaving the shippers/receivers just bearing the cost of discharging from/reloading to the transport means, along with the usual port charges/levies/taxes etc.

    In Liner Terms Hook, the shipper/receiver arranges for the delivery/receipt of cargo to/from directly under ship’s hook. The ship pays for the labour cost of stowing the cargo inside the ship’s hold, as well as on-board lashing & securing, the provision of dunnage materials used inside the hold, as well as the discharging cost till alongside.
    Shore based stevedoring costs remain under the responsibility of the shipper/receiver. Many shippers/receivers are unaware of these additional costs and tend to exclude them from their overall budgeting and, consequently, may be left with an unexpected considerable expense at the completion of a project.
