Technical and operational oversight — through trusted vessel partnerships.

Ship Management

Reliable operations without owning a fleet

Agrotrade Solutions Inc. doesn’t operate its own ships — and that’s by design. We work with selected vessel owners, charter operators, and port agents to provide reliable, efficient vessel management during every chartered operation. Whether you’re shipping via bulk carrier or container vessel, we ensure the voyage is executed smoothly, with full technical and operational oversight.

We manage the ship so you can focus on the cargo.

Who benefits from our ship management solutions

  • Commodity traders using time-chartered or voyage-chartered vessels.
  • Exporters of bulk cargo who want control without owning ships
  • Freight forwarders who arrange private charters for their clients
  • Project logistics providers moving breakbulk or specialized cargo

What our ship management services include

  • Voyage planning & route optimization
    We align vessel availability, draft restrictions, port schedules, and weather forecasts to reduce delays and fuel usage.

  • Crew coordination & documentation
    We ensure the vessel is staffed by qualified professionals with proper certifications, and all documents are prepared for port authorities.

  • Charter party compliance & reporting
    We ensure all contractual terms are followed, including laytime calculation, reporting requirements, and fuel clauses.

  • Port coordination
    We liaise with agents at origin and destination to manage berthing windows, stevedoring, and cargo handling — minimizing idle time.

  • Technical support (via partners)
    Our partners provide ongoing technical management of the vessel — from maintenance to regulatory compliance.

Why it works

  • Trusted partnerships
    We work with vetted vessel owners, agents, and operators — no unknown players.

  • Transparent reporting
    You receive real-time voyage updates, position tracking, and incident alerts.

  • No overhead
    You don’t pay for owning or operating a ship — just for the time and space you need.

  • Flexibility by design
    Different cargo? Different route? We find the right vessel each time — instead of fitting your shipment into someone else’s fleet.
