Tanker Chartering

We provide comprehensive chartering solutions across the full tanker spectrum — clean petroleum products, dirty oil and chemicals. Our portfolio covers Intermediate, Handy, MR, LR and Aframax vessels, enabling us to support oil majors, commodity traders and refineries worldwide.

Our approach combines market insight, operational know-how and strict compliance to deliver competitive fixtures tailored to each client’s cargo flow. Whether spot voyages, time charters or longer COA agreements, we focus on safe, reliable and cost-efficient transportation with full adherence to international vetting and safety standards.

Dry Bulk Chartering

From Coasters to Capesizes, we arrange dry bulk transportation covering all key commodity groups — coal, grain, minerals, fertilizers, and renewable fuels and biomass. We work closely with producers, receivers and trading houses to ensure efficient logistics and optimal freight solutions.

Our expertise spans voyage charters, period cover and Contracts of Affreightment (COAs), always underpinned by transparent communication and proactive operations follow-up. By combining market intelligence with long-standing owner relationships, we deliver competitive results in both mainstream and niche markets.

Offshore Wind & Projects

In the offshore wind sector, we provide chartering for CTV (Crew Transfer Vessels), SOV (Service Operation Vessels), jack-ups, anchor-handlers (AHTS) and other specialized offshore units needed in construction and operations of offshore windfarms. With deep insight into this fast-growing market, we support both developers and contractors in ensuring timely, cost-effective and safe operations offshore.

Our project chartering desk handles the full range of industrial, offshore and heavy-lift logistics. We source multi-purpose carriers (MPP), heavy-lift tonnage, semi-submersible vessels and project cargo specialists for complex, large-scale movements.

RoRo & Ferries

We support regional and international RoRo and ferry operators with tailored chartering solutions. Our experience includes both RoRo vessels to passenger ferries.

We understand the unique operational requirements of this segment — punctuality, high service levels and reliable turnaround times — and work with trusted owners and operators to provide flexible tonnage that keeps schedules moving.

Sale & Purchase

Our Sale & Purchase (S&P) desk offers independent and discreet brokerage for the purchase, sale and valuation of vessels across all market segments — tankers, bulkers, roros and ferries, offshore tonnage and specialized ships.

We combine market knowledge with technical and commercial expertise, guiding clients through the full transaction process: price assessment, inspection coordination, negotiations and documentation. For both second-hand vessels and newbuilding opportunities, we deliver trusted advice and transparent execution.
