Ship Chartering: Finding the Right Vessel for the Right Cargo
Kiev Shipping Ltd provides ship chartering, vessel search, freight negotiations and voyage support for dry bulk, breakbulk, project and general cargoes.
Ship chartering is more than matching a cargo with an available vessel.
A successful fixture depends on vessel position, cargo characteristics, port restrictions, laycan, loading and discharge terms, freight level and the economics of the entire voyage.
Kiev Shipping Ltd provides ship chartering and maritime brokerage services for cargo owners, traders, shipowners and operators.
With more than 25 years in international shipping and more than 350 voyages fixed, we support clients from the first enquiry through negotiations and voyage follow-up.
What We Handle
Our chartering support includes:
- suitable vessel search;
- cargo and vessel matching;
- freight indications;
- voyage calculations;
- freight negotiations;
- charter-party terms;
- fixture coordination;
- operational follow-up.
We work with dry bulk, breakbulk, project, bagged, general and selected tanker cargoes.
Typical shipment sizes range from approximately 3,000 to 50,000 metric tons, depending on cargo type, route and port limitations.
Why Experience Matters
The lowest freight rate is not always the best commercial option.
A vessel with a slightly higher rate may offer better loading capacity, shorter transit, lower port risks or more suitable operational terms.
That is why every chartering enquiry should be evaluated as a complete voyage rather than on freight alone.
Kiev Shipping works across the Black Sea, Mediterranean, Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Continent and Baltic markets.
Our role is to help clients identify workable shipping options, negotiate practical terms and reduce commercial uncertainty before the vessel is fixed.
