Is there a specific term in English for this, or just the literal translation like "right to tonnage" - I was a ship and cargo broker in the 80s in Brasil and never came across this term:
A manutenção de um período mínimo para que o afretamento a casco nu possa propiciar a transferência do “direito de tonelagem” do fretador para o afretador é importante para evitar afretamentos de curto prazo com a finalidade única de criar direito de afretamento de embarcação estrangeira. Por isso deve ser mantido o prazo não inferior a 36 meses atualmente estabelecido.

Tonnage Rights
(...) a vessel right-of-way hierarchy is established by both the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea and the Inland Navigation Rules as presented by the United States Coast Guard. In general, under the written rules sailboats have right-of-way over all power-driven vessels. But when a sailboat and a freighter or other large power vessel meet, the sailboat may technically have the right-of-way, but the size of the freighter gives it TONNAGE RIGHTS rights that trump any written rules. Also known as the carnage rule, gross tonnage rule and right of weight rule.

| Thanks your input Mark but I feel within the context of Bare Boat Charters and chartering perhaps Tonnage Rights is more applicable in this case? |
