Cargo and tonnage, brought together
Broking means bringing together a company with a cargo to ship and a company with a vessel able to carry it; bringing together buyers and sellers of second-hand ships; and contracting newbuildings. BBMS handles chartering and sale and purchase through its own brokers and its exclusive and non-exclusive partner network.
Markets
The markets BBMS and its partners work in:
- Containers
- Dry cargo
- Deep-sea tankers
- LPG and ammonia
- LNG
- Offshore
- Petrochemical gases
- Short-sea and specialised products
Agreements brokered this way put ships of every size on the arteries of trade, carrying commodities such as iron ore, coal, grain and crude oil as well as foodstuffs, cars, household goods, chemicals and industrial equipment.
Better informed
Brokers and clients make better decisions when they understand market mechanisms and movements, supply and demand, order books and trade flows. BBMS gathers and interprets information from a wide range of sources so that its brokers and clients know where the market is and what is driving where it is heading, and combines that with current IT platforms available anywhere, at any time.
