/ˈfɹeɪtɝ/

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  FREIGHTER, contracts. He to whom a ship or vessel has been hired. 3 Kent, 
  Com. 173; 3 Pardess. n. 704. 
       2. The freighter is entitled to the enjoyment of the vessel according 
  to contract, and the vessel hired is the only one that he is bound to take 
  there can, therefore, be no substitution without his consent. When the 
  vessel has been chartered only in part, the freighter is only entitled to 
  the space he has contracted for; and in case of his occupying more room or 
  putting on board a greater weight, he must pay freight on the principles 
  mentioned under the article of freight. 
       3. The freighter is required to use the vessel agreeably to the 
  provisions of the charter party, or, in the absence of any such provisions, 
  according to the usages of trade he cannot load the vessel with merchandise 
  which would render it liable to condemnation for violating the laws of a 
  foreign state. 3 John. R. 105. The freighter is also required to return the 
  vessel as soon as the time for which he chartered her has expired, and to 
  pay the freight.
