Ship Chartering
Maritime Brokers and Consultants, Inc (MBC) is a full-service marine transportation specialist for dry-bulk and break-bulk commodities. We act as advocates for our charterer clients - not the shipowners.
MBC will access our extensive network and knowledge base to help you see the “bigger picture” to better control the timing and quantity of your shipments. MBC will help you retain control of the transportation component of your shipment when you buy FOB (Free on Board) and sell CFR (Cost and Freight) .You control when the cargo is loaded. You receive all of the benefits, instead of your transaction counterpart.
However, MBC will also recognize the occasions when it is advantageous to you to allow your counterpart to do the chartering instead. In any scenario, MBC will be there to guide you through the process and ensure efficiency.
Controlled Cost & Factors
MBC will help create opportunities for you to strategize and have the flexibility to lock in freight in advance in a rising market, or to fix at the last possible moment in a falling market.
Often times a cargo is sold with a 10% tolerance. With volatile commodity prices, you will either want to minimize or maximize the quantity loaded, depending on your commercial considerations (i.e. sales price vs. spot price) in order to maximize profits.
MBC will streamline your processes, allowing you to be able to charter the ship at your convenience according to your cargo reading or demand schedule, reducing the possibility of delays for trucks, railcars, and barges, and preventing expensive delays to vessels at the ports.
