Breakbulk, Project and Dry Bulk Cargo Chartering
Independent shipbrokers for breakbulk, project, oversized and dry bulk cargoes. We charter suitable tonnage through the international freight market against your cargo, route, laycan and port restrictions.
Cargoes we work with
Five cargo directions, one chartering desk. Every page says what we need for an indication.
Project Cargo
Oversized, out-of-gauge and heavy-lift units that need geared or heavy-lift tonnage, individual stowage and lashing, and lifting checks at both ends.
Breakbulk Cargo
Non-containerized cargo shipped as separate units: steel products and metal structures, cargoes in bags and big bags, crates, cases, pallets, bundles and coils on general cargo, tween-deck and multipurpose tonnage.
Dry Bulk Cargo
Grain, salt, fertilizers, minerals and other free-flowing cargoes carried in bulk on coasters, handysize and supramax tonnage.
Electric Buses and Wheeled Machinery
Buses, trucks, tractors and other rolling units shipped on ro-ro, multipurpose or general cargo vessels with lashing and securing arrangements.
Industrial Equipment and Machinery
Plant and process equipment, transformers, generators, turbines and construction machinery shipped as breakbulk or project cargo.
