Specialist offshore shipbrokers
Drawing on decades of experience and a well-established international network of owners and operators, our London-based team of specialist shipbrokers, will navigate your individual offshore vessel purchase or vessel charter requirements – wherever you are in the world.
As shipbrokers, we handle the sale, purchase and chartering of many offshore vessels including tugboats, jack-ups, barges, split hopper barges, dredgers, accommodation barges and workboats.
Our specialist shipbrokers can:
- Provide you with market advice and specialist vessel knowledge.
- Propose suitable vessels for sale or charter from our comprehensive database, including off-market units.
- Sell or charter out your vessel on a private basis or through targeted marketing campaigns.
- Value your vessel or fleet.
- Arrange coastal/deep-sea towage or heavy-lift transport.
