The Client


Our client, a mid-sized tanker operator, sought to balance market volatility with predictable fleet employment. Rising fuel costs and fluctuating freight rates made stability essential for long-term planning.


The Challenge


The key challenges were:

  1. Market volatility: The client required predictable cash flow despite changing conditions.

  2. Securing terms: Negotiations had to deliver fair, long-term charter rates without exposing the client to undue risk.


Our Approach


We applied our expertise in ship chartering services to deliver a tailored solution:

  • Market Analysis

    Reviewed freight trends and vessel availability across key routes.

  • Vessel Identification

    Shortlisted tankers suitable for long-term time charter, balancing capacity with cost-efficiency.

  • Negotiation & Structuring

    Negotiated terms that provided stability while allowing flexibility to adapt to changing markets.


The Outcome


The client secured a long-term time charter that:

  • Delivered predictable employment and cash flow.

  • Protected against short-term market volatility.

  • Supported business growth through stable fleet planning.
