Ship Chartering

Expert Chartering for Every Trade

Ship chartering is a sophisticated commercial discipline requiring an intimate knowledge of freight markets, charter party law, vessel capabilities, and global cargo flows. Dev Maritime’s chartering desk operates at the nexus of tonnage supply and cargo demand, providing expert intermediation and direct deal facilitation for shipowners and cargo interests across all major segments.

Types of Charter Arrangements

We facilitate a comprehensive range of chartering structures, each meticulously tailored to the specific commercial, operational, and financial requirements of our clients.

• Voyage Charters: Shipowners are engaged for specific cargo voyages at agreed freight rates. We ensure all laytime, demurrage, and dispatch calculations are accurately managed to protect client interests.
• Time Charters: Vessels are placed on period hire, providing cargo interests with a highly predictable, reliable capacity solution for a defined duration, covering months or multi-year commitments.
• Bareboat Charters: For clients requiring full operational control of tonnage, we facilitate bareboat arrangements where the charterer assumes complete responsibility for crewing and technical management.

Direct Owner Access

A key competitive differentiator of Dev Maritime is our exceptional roster of direct shipowner contacts spanning bulk carriers, product tankers, container vessels, and specialized MPP tonnage. We bypass the layers of intermediary brokers that inflate transaction costs and slow decision-making.

Our chartering team combines deep market intelligence with established principal relationships to secure the most commercially advantageous fixtures for our clients.

From identifying suitable tonnage and negotiating charter party terms to managing fixture recaps and overseeing voyage performance, our team handles the entire chartering lifecycle with complete commercial precision and contractual rigor.
