Project Cargo Chartering from Asian Ports
Kiev Shipping Ltd provides vessel chartering and maritime brokerage services for project, heavy-lift and oversized cargoes originating from ports in China, South Korea, Japan and other Asian countries.
We work as independent shipbrokers, searching the international freight market for suitable tonnage based on cargo dimensions, weight, lifting requirements, route, laycan, port restrictions and prevailing market conditions.
Our role is commercial and practical: to help cargo owners, traders, exporters, importers and freight forwarders identify suitable vessels, obtain freight indications, negotiate fixture terms and provide commercial voyage follow-up through completion of discharge.
Our focus on this site is project cargo loading in China and other Asian countries. For heavy-lift and oversized shipments on other routes, see international project cargo chartering.
