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.
Jon Webber
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.
Jon Webber
Director, Specialised Products

Our unique blend of broking knowledge and market analysis is made available to our clients through reports, presentations and bespoke consultations, creating ever greater value to our existing and future customers.

Our clients can be safe in the knowledge that our post-fixture team, with its years of specialised experience, provides the highest level of support throughout the life of each fixture and beyond, at any time of the day, anywhere in the world.
