Laycan

English to Spanish Other Law (general)
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish.

It's the translation of a conference about maritime law. The conference attendants are from Venezuela and Colombia.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Thanks a lot Christian.
Laydays vs Laytime vs Laycan From http://generalcargoship.com/charter-party-laycan.html:

Laydays refers to a period of specified days (e.g. “Jan 7/16”) during which owners must present the vessel for loading. Laydays should not be confused with laytime, which is the period allowed to the charterers for loading and/or discharging without payment additional to the freight.

The cancelling date is the final layday and the date beyond which, if the chartered vessel has not been presented for loading, the charterers may reject her and cancel the charter. Will usually be found in a Cancelling Clause, which provides that the charterers will not be entitled to cancel the charter before the stated cancelling date, even when it is obvious that the vessel cannot arrive at the loading port by this date.

Together, laydays/cancelling or, as it is often called, the “laycan” is the period within which the vessel must be presented at the agreed port or place. If the vessel arrives before the first day of the period, the charterers do not have to accept her until commencement of the agreed laydays. If she arrives after the final layday, the charterers are entitled to reject the vessel and cancel the charter.
