Damages payable by a charterer who fails to load a full and complete cargo, representing the freight lost on the space left unfilled.
Having shipped only 8,000 of the 10,000 tonnes contracted, the charterers were liable in deadfreight for the shortfall.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
