Chartering
Chartering forms the cornerstone of our commercial management operations. In line with BIMCO’s Standard Ship Management Agreement “SHIPMAN 2009,” we handle all aspects of vessel employment, including seeking and negotiating charters and concluding contracts on behalf of owners. Depending on specific owner requirements, we facilitate single voyage charters, time charters, or long-term period charters.
Operations
The operational aspect of commercial management is critical to ensuring the profitability of each voyage. Our experienced operators oversee every detail to ensure smooth and cost-effective operations. This involves constant communication with shipmasters, charterers, brokers, port agents, and bunker suppliers. By ensuring safe and efficient voyage execution, we help minimize costs and maximize returns.

All these functions are integral to ensuring the cost-effectiveness and profitability of vessel operations. With our state-of-the-art tools and expertise, we provide our clients with unmatched commercial management services.
