What is this service?

Sea vessel chartering is the lease of an entire dry cargo ship or container vessel for a customer's specific needs. Our company has been chartering vessels in Saint Petersburg for over 10 years, where the Bolshaya Neva port receives cargo from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and other regions. We organize door-to-door delivery — from containers to oversized cargo — in full compliance with customs legislation requirements.

This service is designed for wholesale buyers, manufacturing and industrial sector enterprises, agricultural cargo shippers, and more. You receive exclusive use of a vessel for your project and access to unique routes not available in standard ocean carrier schedules.

Features of vessel chartering

Full vessel chartering (tramp shipping) in Saint Petersburg is beneficial for large exporters and importers moving high volumes of homogeneous cargo (coal, metals, grain, fertilizers, timber). It is economically justified for general cargo, project equipment, or when full vessel utilization is required on Baltic routes to Europe, Scandinavia, or Asia. The port of Saint Petersburg handles up to 60 million tons of cargo annually, offering deep-water berths for vessels with drafts of up to 15 meters.

Our company integrates sea chartering into a multimodal transport scheme, combining sea and land legs.

In Saint Petersburg, we provide customs clearance, port agency services, and full control of loading and unloading operations.

Vessel selection depends on client requirements, required deadweight, and route.
