Vessel chartering and shipbroking
We source suitable open tonnage worldwide, coordinate the market approach and negotiate the fixture with owners and operators.
Vessel availability, position and freight levels move continuously. We turn your cargo requirement into a market-ready enquiry, approach owners and operators with relevant tonnage, and compare the available structures on a like-for-like basis.
Poseidon coordinates voyage charters, time charters, consecutive voyages and longer cargo programmes. You conclude the charter party directly with the owner or operator; we remain involved through recap, nominations and post-fixture execution.
Operating boundary
Poseidon acts as broker and coordinator, not carrier. The charter party is between you and the owner or operator, who controls the vessel and performs the carriage.
