Voyage chartering
Spot and contract-of-affreightment cargoes. We source tonnage, compare freight and negotiate the charter party.
GMR Chartering & Shipbroking finds the right ship for charterers and the right cargo for owners. We work in dry bulk, tankers and project cargo, and stay with each fixture from first enquiry to final freight.
GMR is an independent chartering and shipbroking house. We work for shipowners, operators, charterers and traders, matching cargoes with tonnage and negotiating terms that hold up when the voyage is under way.
“A fixture is only as good as the charter party behind it.”
We are not tied to any owner or cargo interest, so our advice stays independent. Market information is shared promptly. Every recap, laytime calculation and invoice is checked before it leaves our desk.
