Chartering is where market knowledge turns into money on the table, or money left behind. Our chartering desk fixes dry bulk and breakbulk, project cargo vessels through both voyage and time charter agreements, built on real-time freight market intelligence and relationships developed over three decades in the business. We don't just pass along positions and cargoes; we actively negotiate on your behalf, structure charter parties that protect your commercial interests from fixture through completion, and stay engaged through laytime, demurrage, and performance issues that can arise mid-voyage. Operating out of California with a global reach, we bring decades of firsthand chartering experience from the Persian Gulf, West Coast India, the Far East, and Europe directly into the US market. Whether the cargo is dry bulk, break bulk, or project tonnage, we approach every fixture with the same discipline: protect the client's position, keep communication transparent, and never let a deal move faster than good judgment allows. It's an approach built over decades, and it's why owners and charterers come back to us fixture after fixture. |
