Our partners and ship owners globally has made our shipbroking services second to none in terms of the numbers and caliber of our brokers, our breadth of market coverage, geographical spread and depth of intelligence resources.
Acting as intermediaries between directly contracting counter parties, our broking teams have the expertise, experience and support structure to make deals happen. This means bringing together a company with a cargo to ship and a company with a vessel able to transport it, bringing together buyers and sellers of secondhand ships and contracting newbuildings. We have specialist broking teams dealing in all major markets: containers, dry cargo, deep sea tankers, LPG and ammonia, LNG, offshore, petrochemical gases, shortsea and specialised products - for chartering and sale and purchase.
Being partner with the one of the largest independent bunker trading houses in the world, has made us uniquely capable of serving our clients in over 800 ports internationally with our bunkering services. The purchasing of marine fuel has evolved over recent years. Buyers are looking for increasingly sophisticated tools with which to manage their largest overhead. Our partner too has moved with the market and offers a number of solutions to remove the volatility of prices and provides creative price risk management tools through floating and fixed price contracts, as well as spot pricing in the traditional way. For buyers looking for guaranteed supply and competitive prices we are very well positioned. This is possible as our trading team is increasingly working with our own physical supply experts throughout the group.
