Shipbroking
We connect charterers and shipowners for direct cargo transport contracts. We negotiate freight rates and charter terms and advise on maritime contracts.
What is included
Connectingboth parties
We join when a charterer needs a shipowner or a shipowner is seeking cargo for available tonnage. We exchange proposals and negotiate charter terms between the parties. We help establish the agreed basis for a direct contract between charterer and shipowner.
01
Counterparty contact
We connect a charterer’s enquiry with a shipowner’s offer, considering the cargo and available tonnage.
02
Rate negotiation
We exchange freight rate proposals between the parties and discuss them alongside the transport terms.
03
Charter terms
We compare the parties’ positions on charter terms and clarify points that need further agreement.
04
Contract advice
We advise on maritime contract terms so the parties can discuss the provisions of their direct agreement.
