Commercial Ship Management for Shipowners

A vessel needs more than technical maintenance. It also needs stable employment, commercially sound fixtures and proper voyage control.

Kiev Shipping Ltd provides commercial ship management support for shipowners who need professional assistance with vessel employment, chartering and voyage follow-up.

With more than 25 years of experience in international shipping and more than 350 voyages fixed, Kiev Shipping helps owners evaluate cargo opportunities, negotiate charter-party terms and improve the commercial use of their vessels.

Commercial Ship Management Services

Kiev Shipping can assist with:

• vessel employment and cargo search;
• voyage calculations;
• freight negotiations;
• charter-party terms;
• market analysis;
• voyage planning;
• operational follow-up;
• laytime and demurrage monitoring;
• communication with charterers, brokers and agents.

The objective is not simply to find cargo. Every opportunity must be evaluated according to the vessel’s position, operating costs, voyage duration, port restrictions and expected commercial result.

Support Without Loss of Owner Control

The shipowner retains full control over:

• trading areas;
• acceptable cargoes;
• minimum freight levels;
• preferred charterers;
• operational restrictions;
• final fixture approval.

Kiev Shipping works within the owner’s instructions and presents suitable employment opportunities for consideration.
