Maritime
International shipping, cargo operations and the ownership and management of shipyards. The group owns, operates and services tonnage.
Maritime services
Three activities that sit on one asset: the ship. The group builds and repairs it, operates it and moves cargo with it.
- International Shipping
- Vessel ownership and commercial operation on international routes: chartering, voyage management and technical oversight.
- Cargo Operations
- Planning and execution of cargo movements: loading, stowage, port calls and documentation, for the group's own cargoes and for third parties.
- Shipyards Ownership & Management
- Ownership and management of shipyard capacity for newbuilding, repair and conversion.
Who we work with
- Charterers and cargo owners
- who need tonnage on a route, for a voyage or for a period.
- Shipowners and operators
- who need yard capacity for repair, conversion or newbuilding.
- Commodity traders
- moving energy and food cargoes who want one counterparty for ship and cargo.
- Investors
- seeking exposure to maritime assets through an operator rather than a fund of listed shipping stocks.
Ship, yard and cargo sit in the same group. A charterer can arrange the tonnage, the cargo operation and the port call with one desk, and a shipowner can bring a vessel for repair or conversion to yard capacity the group owns and manages.
Know your counterparty applies to every charter before the group commits tonnage. For commodity traders, the trade finance desk can structure the facility and the letter of credit for the same cargo the ships carry.
How we operate
Build
Yard capacity owned and managed by the group keeps repair and newbuilding decisions in its own hands.
Operate
Vessels are run commercially and technically by the group, with the voyage planned around the cargo.
Carry
Cargo operations close the loop: the same desk that fixes the ship handles the load, the port call and the documents.
