Our Istanbul and Dubai teams arrange dry-bulk tonnage for NASIF cargo and third-party shippers. Voyage charters, time charters and contracts of affreightment are assessed around the cargo, ports and loading window. Our largest bulk parcel handled is 50,000 MT; vessel selection and shipment capacity are assessed separately.
Geared, flexible tonnage for smaller stems and restricted Gulf and Indian-subcontinent ports — grains, coriander, clinker and minor bulks.
Geared vessels for grain, coal and petcoke parcels, particularly where shore cranes are limited. The vessel’s hold capacity, draft and gear are matched to the cargo and receiving port.
Larger grain and coal parcels on deep-water berths — economical tonne-mile for Brazil, Black Sea and Indonesia long-haul programmes.
Larger vessels considered where cargo volume, berth draft and length limits permit. Actual cargo intake is assessed for each voyage and should not be confused with the vessel’s deadweight rating.
Freight is agreed for a defined cargo and voyage, typically per tonne or as a lump sum. Loading, discharge, laytime and other responsibilities are set out in the charter party.
Hire a vessel for an agreed period, with routing and cargo employment subject to the charter party. Suitable for shipment programmes that need tonnage over several voyages.
Agree a cargo volume to be carried over multiple voyages within a defined period. Shipment windows, freight structure and responsibilities are set out in the contract.
