Capesize Chartering
Overview
Capesize markets are driven by large-scale commodity flows, vessel positioning and short-term supply imbalances.
In the Atlantic basin, activity is shaped by iron ore exports from Brazil and West Africa, with vessel positioning and ballast flows playing a key role in market direction.
In the Pacific, volumes are driven by Australian exports into China and regional coal trades, where changes in cargo programmes can quickly impact vessel availability.
Our brokers maintain real-time visibility of cargo programmes, vessel positions and regional supply, allowing clients to assess when to enter the market and how to position cargoes or tonnage.
We focus on providing clear market signals, access to workable ships and reliable execution, supporting clients in navigating a market that can move quickly and often asymmetrically.
