From a complex chemical derivative to simple molasses, our Specialised Products team helps move a hugely diverse range of cargoes, each with its own individual carriage requirements. The sheer diversity of the market calls for a wide knowledge of each and every product and vessel type.
As global demand for household goods increases, the need for
specialised products to feed the supply chain rises. These include
petrochemical liquids like methanol, gases, clean and dirty oil
products and lubricants, vegetable oils (such as palm oils),
biofuels and molasses. This tremendous range of specialised
products requires specialised vessels, from small units to
large and sophisticated chemical tankers with the capacity to
transport 20 or more different products from many different
shippers in custom-designed, stainless steel, double-skinned
tanks. At any time one of our team might be fixing cargo
for a 1,000 dwt river barge, whilst another could be
organising a parcel to be carried on a highly advanced, multi-grade
45,000 dwt fully stainless steel carrier.
One of the core
Specialised Products team's strengths is broking throughout the
supply chain from production to end-user. Through our global office
network with more than 100 expert team members, we service a wide
range of customers from multinational corporations to smaller niche
market participants.

Director, Specialised Products
As the demand for specialised products has grown in recent
years, our team has expanded rapidly - both organically and by
acquisition - and has increased more than ten-fold since 2005.
Today, we are by a considerable margin the largest team in the
sector, offering our clients an unrivalled service.
Our business is generally comprised of four distinct charter
types: spot fixtures; Contracts of Affreightment (CoAs);
timecharter; and bareboat charters.
With access to
unique market intelligence and commercial data, our dedicated team
of market analysts are able to provide unparalleled insight and
validation to various chemical tanker stakeholders.
