No two cargoes make the same demands on vessel, hold and charter party. Grain calls for dry, odour-free holds and a passed hold inspection, scrap calls for a tank top that takes the load, project cargo calls for cranes and free deck space. We charter across these five segments in the European short-sea trade and pick tonnage by what the cargo actually requires.
Grain & Agribulk
Chartering grain, oilseeds and animal feed in the European short-sea trade – hold standards, harvest seasonality and COA cover.
Fertilisers
Shipping fertilisers – urea, potash, phosphate and NPK in bulk or bagged, with IMSBC classification and corrosion protection.
Scrap & Steel Products
Shipping scrap and steel: bulk scrap, coils, slabs and long products in the European short-sea trade.
Timber & Forest Products
Sawn timber, logs, pellets and pulp by sea – deck cargo under the Timber Code, Baltic trades and moisture protection.
Project & Heavy-Lift Cargo
Project and heavy-lift cargo by sea – plant sections, transformers and wind energy components with crane capacity, stowage plan and lashing.
