“Port or place”
5.1 The vast majority of voyage charter forms leave the choice of the location for loading and discharging to the parties, whether by the provision of a box to be filled in or a simple gap in the standard form. A binding fixture cannot come into existence unless these choices are made or machinery is specified for making them.
