Kiev Shipping Ltd - Over 25 Years of Experience

I, Konstantin Kalnyi, founded Kiev Shipping Ltd on June 2, 2000, after transitioning from the gas industry to the shipping business in 1998. For over 25 years, I have been involved in maritime transportation of bulk and break bulk cargoes, as well as ship management, and I would like to share our expertise and the services we offer.

Main Areas of Activity

Ship Chartering

We charter vessels for the transportation of various types of cargo. Over the years, I have personally organized the transportation of more than 300 vessels loaded with chemicals, fertilizers, cement, clinker, grain, steel, and other cargoes. We consistently identify the most cost-effective and safe transportation routes for our clients.

Sea Transportation

Kiev Shipping Ltd organizes sea transportation for all types of bulk and general cargo. Our primary destinations include the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, we collaborate with ports in Africa, South America, the Persian Gulf, and Southeast Asia (including China).

Kiev Shipping Ltd offers ship management services 24/7. Our specialists are involved in the technical, operational, and commercial management of ships. We also possess extensive experience in managing river-sea vessels and organizing the bunkering of fuel, oil, water, and provisions.

Maritime Consulting

We provide consulting services on maritime logistics, ship and cargo insurance, international maritime law, and arbitration. We have experience in arbitrating disputes in London under LMAA rules and at the Moscow Maritime Arbitration Commission (IAC).
