Cargo and Ship Broking
BBMS shipbroking services are unrivalled - in terms of the number and calibre of our brokers, our breadth of market coverage, geographical spread and depth of intelligence resources.
Acting as intermediaries between directly contracting counterparties, our broking teams have the expertise, experience and support structure to make deals happen.
This means bringing together a company with a cargo to ship and a company with a vessel able to transport it, bringing together buyers and sellers of secondhand ships and contracting newbuildings. We have specialist broking teams dealing in all major markets: containers, dry cargo, deep sea tankers, LPG and ammonia, LNG, offshore, petrochemical gases, shortsea and specialised products - for chartering and sale and purchase.
Best in class
We aspire to be best-in-class in all the industry's key sectors and a market leader in each and every continent where we have offices. We are the only truly worldwide broker, providing a global service on a local basis from a network of offices strategically located in the same marketplaces and time zones as our clients. Agreements brokered by our people result in ships of all sizes criss-crossing the oceans on the great arteries of trade, carrying every conceivable cargo from commodities like iron ore, coal, grain and crude oil to foodstuffs, cars, household goods, chemicals and industrial equipment.
What each ship has in common is the support of more than hundreds of professionals in our offices worldwide: a team that shares best practice, bringing the experience and expertise gained on one project to the challenges faced on another.
We drive performance by combining our experience with the very latest market leading IT platforms, available anywhere in the world, 24/7.
Leading analytical support
BBMS shipbroking services are unrivalled - in terms of the number and calibre of our brokers, our breadth of market coverage, geographical spread and depth of intelligence resources.
We have the largest team of analysts in the industry. Sitting alongside the brokers, in every major market segment, they bring together the strengths and benefits of BMMS Research whilst interfacing constantly with the broking teams, gathering and interpreting information from a huge range of sources to create a key BBMS competitive advantage: market intelligence.
Our brokers and clients are simply better informed - on market mechanisms and movements, supply and demand, order books and trade flows. They know where the market is and have greater insight into the drivers of where it is heading. That intelligence translates directly into more informed decision-making.
