Over the total gross rate of a charter, the one who contributes the client usually obtains a 15% commission, be it an agent, the manager, the owner himself, or anyone else.
Once cleared, out of the remaining 85%, the owner of the boat obtains a 65% and the manager obtains a 35%. With this percentage, the manager commits himself to provide the following services:

What expenses does the ship’s owner run with?
Basically, they are as follow:

He runs with the financial expenses of purchase, loan interests, leasing, etc...
