Tanker and Vessel Chartering
VLCC, Suezmax and Handysize fixtures with full voyage management.
What is tanker chartering?
Tanker chartering is hiring a tanker from its owner to carry oil cargoes. Under a voyage charter the owner is paid per voyage and runs the ship; under a time charter the charterer hires the ship for a period and directs its employment; under a bareboat charter the charterer also crews and operates it.
The Jansma approach to vessel chartering
Our chartering desk handles time charters, voyage charters and bareboat fixtures across the dirty and clean tanker segments. We also run vessels on our own account when the arbitrage supports it, which gives us a real-time read on the market that pure brokers don't have.
