When are final payment and APA due?

Final payment and APA are usually due before the charter starts, often around 30 to 60 days before embarkation depending on the contract.

APA is the onboard spending fund for items like food, drinks, fuel, and day-to-day running costs. Any unused APA is returned, and any extra spend is settled at the end of the charter.
