Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our vessel chartering services.
Charter rates are influenced by multiple market factors: Supply and demand balance in the specific vessel segment, seasonality and regional trade patterns, bunker (fuel) prices and projected consumption, vessel specifications including age, size, and equipment, charter duration (longer periods often secure lower daily rates), positioning costs if the vessel needs to reposition for the charter, trading restrictions or special requirements that limit vessel choices, and prevailing freight market conditions at the time of fixture. Our chartering experts monitor these factors continuously to identify optimal chartering opportunities and secure the most competitive rates for your specific requirements.
