Question

Choose the word spelt correctly :

• A. Demurrage
• B. Dimurrage
• C. Demurage
• D. Demerage

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The task is to identify the correctly spelled word from the given options. Let's analyze each option:

1. Demurrage: This is the correct spelling. "Demurrage" refers to the charges that the charterer pays to the shipowner for the delay in loading or unloading beyond the agreed-upon time.
2. Dimurrage: This is incorrect. The double 'm' and 'r' suggest a common error in spelling the word "Demurrage".
3. Demurage: This is incorrect because it omits the double 'r'.
4. Demerage: This is incorrect as it misses both the double 'r' and 'm'.

Therefore, the word that is correctly spelled is "Demurrage".
