In the intricate world of trading, the alignment of sales contract terms with charter party agreements is crucial, more so when it comes to the specifics of Laytime and Demurrage across different contract types, such as FOB (Free On Board) and CFR/CIF (Cost and Freight/Cost, Insurance, and Freight).
