租船合同属性法律问题研究

Research on charter party’s attribute

租船合同究竟应当具有租赁合同的属性,还是应当具有运输合同的属性?这是海商法理论一直没有明确的问题。采用逻辑分析的方法,对理论中的观点及争议的问题进行了论证,提出对租船合同的模糊认识是导致租船合同属性不明确的根本原因,并得出相应结论。

Whether a charter party has the attribute of a lease contract, or has the attribute of a contract of carriage？ There is still no conclusion in the theory of maritime law. In view of the divergent opinions and controversies in the theory, this thesis uses several analytical methods and points out that the unclear knowledge of a charter party in the past is the principal reason which causes uncertainty about the attribute of a charter party, then it draws corresponding conclusions.
