Whilst the Dry Cargo team focuses on long distance trade routes, our Shortsea team is responsible for the movement of similar goods on smaller vessels and shorter routes.

Our Shortsea team specialises in shipping dry cargo via regional and coastal trade, smaller ports and shallower waters.

These factors, together with a typical vessel size that ranges from 2,000 mt dwt to 20,000 mt dwt, mean that Shortsea operations demand specialist skills and knowledge. The commodities carried are broadly the same as those handled by the Dry Cargo team - primarily coal, cereals and grains, and biomass, as well as timber, scrap, fertiliser and cement. However, we also have a proven capability in carrying liquids on shorter routes, where we draw on the expertise and experience of our Specialised Products team. 

Our competitive advantage is based on in-depth knowledge, driven by the market intelligence provided by Clarkson Research Services, harnessed to excellent business relationships developed over many years.
