EXAMPLE!!

A ship engaged in the tramp trade is one which does not have a fixed schedule or published ports of call. As opposed to freight liners, tramp ships trade on the spot market with no fixed schedule or itinerary/ports-of-call(s). A Steam ship engaged in the tramp trade is sometimes called a tramp steamer; the similar terms tramp freighter and tramper are also in use.

The term is derived from the British meaning of "tramp" as itinerant beggar or vagrant; in this context it is first documented in the 1880s, along with "ocean tramp" (at the time many sailing vessels engaged in irregular trade as well).

There are several tramp charter types for hiring vessels.
