  • Identify and assess potential vessel acquisitions, particularly older tonnage, by analyzing shipbroker intelligence, market listings, and competitor activity.
  • Evaluate vessels’ operational readiness, trading history, classification, and technical condition, including any mechanical or structural concerns.
  • Lead negotiations for charter agreements (e.g., NYPE, Baltime), including rate structures, off-hire clauses, speed warranties, and fuel terms, adjusted for past vessel performance.
  • Develop vessel shortlists aligned with trade route needs, considering specifications such as draft limitations, cargo capacity, and reefer plug availability, with support from shipping indices.
  • Finalize charter arrangements with cost transparency, incorporating proforma budgeting for bunkers, port fees, hull cleaning, and other relevant components.
  • Manage end-to-end vessel sale and purchase processes using recognized documentation (e.g., Norwegian Saleform), including valuation, negotiation, and closing.

  • At least 10 years of experience in procurement or a shipping related field, with a track record of driving process improvements and cost savings.
