How a charter comes together
Requirement
You send the scope, location, dates and any must-have spec: DP class, deck space, crane, accommodation.
Market
We go out to owners and come back with a shortlist of vessels that fit, with specs, availability and rates.
Terms
We negotiate the commercial terms and the charter party, usually on a BIMCO form.
On hire
We stay on it through mobilisation, the charter period and redelivery.
Vessel owners
Coming off charter, or looking to sell? Send us the specs and open dates and we'll match them against current requirements.
