"berth terms" typically refer to provisions or conditions related to the allocation and use of a specific berth or docking space within a port or harbor. These terms may outline details such as the duration of berthing rights, any associated fees or charges, responsibilities of both parties (shipowner and port authority), and conditions for the use of the berth. Berth terms are crucial in maritime contracts as they establish the rights and obligations of the parties involved in the use of the designated berth for loading, unloading, or other port activities.
