CharterDeckby Orion Marine

For cargo owners & charterers

A shipbroker that works for cargo owners.

You have cargo to move and a laycan to meet. We find the ships that fit, compare them on freight and the whole voyage, and negotiate with owners for you until the vessel is fixed. Our AI-supported system matches your cargo against the market in seconds, so the options reach you sooner.

Less sourcing work
One enquiry to us instead of approaching owners one by one yourself.
Whole-voyage economics
Options compared on delivered cost, not the freight rate alone.
A broker on your side
Your broker negotiates freight and terms with owners for your cargo, from first offer to fixture.

What we do for you

  • Source suitable tonnage for your cargo
  • Check every candidate on size, type, gear, ports, draft and laycan
  • Compare freight and whole-voyage costs
  • Negotiate offers, counters and subjects with owners
  • Issue the recap from the terms agreed
  • Follow the voyage through loading and discharge

What stays in your hands

You decide which options we pursue and which terms you accept. Your cargo goes to market only as you instruct, and nothing is fixed until you and the owner agree the terms and lift the subjects.

The cheapest freight can hide the costliest voyage. The strongest option is the vessel that fits the stem, the port and the laycan, and pays off across the whole voyage.

Where the saving comes from

A low rate on a poorly suited ship can cost more than a higher rate on the right one: a long ballast, a berth the ship can't work, a laycan it barely makes. We compare options on the whole voyage so a weak-fitting bargain doesn't win by accident.

Cargoes and trades

Tanker and liquid bulk cargoes where a charter suits, dry bulk, and project and breakbulk cargo, worked most closely across the Black Sea, the Turkish Straits and the Mediterranean from our Istanbul desk.

Questions, answered

Is sending an enquiry binding?
No. Sending a cargo does not by itself appoint us as broker or commit you to anything. Shortlists and indications we send are for information, not binding offers; a fixture is concluded only when you and the owner agree the terms and lift any subjects.
Will my cargo be shown to the whole market?
No. Your cargo goes to market only as you instruct. A broker checks the details with you first, and owners are approached with it once you ask us to work it.
Whose side are you on?
Yours, once you mandate us. We agree at the start that we act for you on the cargo, and we say so to owners. We don't promise the best price to both sides of the same deal.
Is a broker really involved, or does the AI fix the vessel?
A broker owns every enquiry. Our AI-supported system matches and ranks the options; your broker reviews them with you, negotiates freight and terms with owners and manages the fixture. AI does not negotiate or fix vessels on its own.
What cargoes do you work?
Tanker and liquid bulk cargoes where a charter suits; dry bulk (grain, fertilisers, coal and ores, cement and clinker, steel and scrap, minor bulks); and project and breakbulk cargo.
Which ship sizes do you cover?
Tankers, handysize to panamax and kamsarmax bulk carriers, and general cargo and multipurpose ships, chosen for the cargo, the ports and the laycan.
Where do you work?
From our Istanbul desk we work the Black Sea, the Turkish Straits and the Mediterranean most closely, with onward trades to the Red Sea, the Middle East, West Africa and Northern Europe.
When will I hear back?
A broker reviews your enquiry and replies to you directly, first with questions if anything important is missing. We don't quote a fixed response time; if your laycan is close, say so in the enquiry.
