Chartering of Vesselsis one of the activities of ESTMA’s operations. ESTMA arranges the necessary cargo for tramp operators or ships for freight operators, effectively serving both parties of the freight contract. Dealing mainly with dry cargo vessel brokerage oriented toward exclusive charterers’ cargoes as well as toward competitive sector of dry cargo market, we also arrange more complicated shipments, like chemicals, project cargoes and frozen goods. ESTMA’s chartering activities are mainly directed at the European freight market and, consequently, serve relatively small ships (500-4000 DWT).

Our brokers’ extensive experience, contacts, and knowledge of the overall ship market makes ESTMA a valuable partner in these arrangements.
