Ships forCaribbean Cargo
We find ships for cargo moving in and out of the Caribbean, Central America and the Guianas, including ports where a suitable ship is hard to find. We handle single cargoes and repeat programmes that need several ships. We started in 2022, and our trading team has more than 30 years in dry-bulk commodities.
Where we work
The Caribbean and Latin America
Many Caribbean and Central American ports have shallow berths, short quays or no shore cranes, and few owners keep ships nearby. We find ships that fit those ports and can come back every month.
If you ship every month or need several ships, we can set up a contract of affreightment or consecutive voyages so you are not looking for a new ship each time.

Five sailings delivered cargo directly to Linden, Guyana
We gathered road-building materials from three places in Colombia, designed the lifting gear, and chartered a ship that could pass the old Demerara bridge and cope with the river's tidal draft. We ran the trip five times and delivered about 17,000 tonnes.
