How do I find a vessel for my cargo without a broker network?

Post the cargo — commodity, quantity, load and discharge ranges, laycan — and owners with suitable tonnage answer blind: specification and position visible, the vessel’s name sealed until a fixture concludes. The term sheet, offer rounds and deadlines are the procedure, not a negotiation by attrition.

What does chartering a cargo ship cost through the platform?

Browsing, posting and negotiating cost nothing. A concluded fixture carries the trade’s standard 1.25% from each party — owed only when the fixture concludes, never before, and stated on the term sheet from the start.

A cargo ship for charter, fixed without the market watching

Browse listed tonnage or post your cargo; negotiate blind in structured rounds; conclude a documented fixture. Identities open only at the end.

Plate — the fixture procedure — blind until conclusion.

The situation

Working a fixture through brokers means the market knows your cargo before your counterparty does; positions get triangulated from names, and the deal is shopped while you negotiate it.

The chartering desk keeps both sides sealed: owners list tonnage without names, you open with a full term sheet or post the cargo blind, and offers move in structured rounds — three per side, deadlines on every offer — until a fixture concludes and identities open.

How it works for you

Register free and verify

Browsing is open to registered companies; no offer moves until verification passes — blind negotiation only works between accountable parties.

Open on tonnage or post cargo

Full term sheet — rate, laycan, ports, demurrage — against a listed vessel, or a cargo posting owners answer blind.

Negotiate in structured rounds

Three offers per side, 48-hour default deadlines, mutual extension if both want more room. Contact details are blocked until conclusion.

Conclude the fixture

Acceptance opens identities and the vessel’s name; the fixture and full negotiation history are documented identically for both parties.

What you pay — and don’t

Nothing owed on a deal that dies

—Registration and browsing are free.

—A concluded fixture carries the trade’s standard 1.25% from the charterer (and 1.25% from the owner) — charged only at conclusion, the address-commission logic the trade already runs on.
