THE RIGHT CARGO. THE RIGHT VESSEL. THE RIGHT TERMS.

Ship chartering is about much more than finding an available vessel. The type and volume of cargo, loading and discharge ports, draft and terminal restrictions, laycan dates, handling rates, routing, freight budget and contractual terms must all be evaluated together.

At Sdt Global Logistics, we match our customers’ requirements with vessel options ranging from coaster-class vessels to Capesize tonnage through our network of shipowners, operators and brokers. We provide Voyage Charter and Time Charter solutions for bulk, breakbulk, project and heavy-lift cargo.

From sourcing suitable tonnage and comparing offers to negotiating commercial terms and concluding the fixture, we manage every stage of the chartering process. Following the fixture, we coordinate vessel nomination, documentation, port calls, loading, voyage, discharge and final delivery with all relevant parties.

FINDING A VESSEL ISN’T ENOUGH. THE TERMS HAVE TO BE RIGHT.

In chartering, a small detail included in—or omitted from—the agreement may result in delays, additional costs and operational risks. Before concluding a fixture, we therefore evaluate the commercial and operational terms together, clarify responsibilities and identify potential risks in advance.

Because a successful chartering operation is measured not merely by signing the agreement, but by transporting the cargo as planned and completing the operation under the right terms.
