Vessel chartering provides a flexible solution for cargo that cannot be accommodated efficiently within conventional liner services. DC Global Freight arranges full and part vessel charters for heavy, oversized, breakbulk and project cargo movements worldwide. From vessel selection and voyage planning through to port operations, loading and final delivery, each charter is coordinated around the cargo, route and project schedule.
- Full and part vessel charters
- Heavy and oversized project cargo
- Out-of-gauge cargo
- Industrial machinery and equipment
- High-volume project cargo
- Complex or time-critical charter requirements
Every charter starts with the cargo. We assess dimensions, weight, lifting requirements, loading and discharge ports, route, schedule and specialist handling requirements before identifying suitable vessel options.
We then coordinate the charter from vessel selection and booking through to port operations, stevedoring, loading and discharge, documentation and onward delivery, providing a single point of contact throughout the movement.
