How We Work

Kiev Shipping Ltd does not own vessels. We work as experienced independent shipbrokers and arrange the chartering of suitable tonnage through the international freight market.

Our work includes vessel searches, freight indications, fixture negotiations, charter-party support, coordination among the parties involved and commercial voyage follow-up through completion of discharge.

GENCON

For general and breakbulk cargo fixtures, GENCON 2022, GENCON 1994 or another charter-party form agreed by the contractual principals may be used, depending on the cargo, vessel, route and specific fixture requirements.

Vessel selection depends on cargo characteristics, quantity, loading and discharging ports, route, laycan and current availability in the freight market.

Suitable vessel types may include:

  • multipurpose and general cargo vessels
  • single-deck and tweendeck vessels
  • geared or gearless vessels, depending on port facilities
  • heavy-lift vessels, where required
  • Ro-Ro, Lo-Lo or Ro-Lo vessels, where commercially and technically suitable

Typical Trading Areas

Typical trading areas include routes from ports in China, South Korea, Japan and other Asian countries to Northern Europe and the Continent, the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
