When a ship owner wishes to sell or a buyer wants to acquire a vessel, they engage an S&P broker like APS Shipbrokers. We market the vessel confidentially, identify qualified counterparties, negotiate terms, manage due diligence, and coordinate the MOA signing and vessel delivery process.
The MOA is the standard contract used in vessel transactions, most commonly based on the Norwegian Sale Form (NSF). It governs payment terms, inspection rights, delivery conditions, and title transfer. APS Shipbrokers guides clients through every clause to protect their interests throughout the transaction.
A typical secondhand vessel sale closes within 30–60 days after an agreed MOA, depending on inspection requirements, financing arrangements, and flag or registry procedures. Newbuilding contracts vary according to shipyard construction schedules.
APS Shipbrokers handles all major commercial vessel categories, including crude oil tankers, product tankers, chemical tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, general cargo vessels, multipurpose vessels (MPP), LPG carriers, LNG carriers, Ro-Ro vessels, reefer ships, car carriers, and offshore support vessels.
Vessel valuation is based on age, condition, specification, market comparables, recent sales activity, earnings potential, classification records, and regulatory compliance status. APS Shipbrokers provides independent vessel valuations for sale, purchase, financing, investment, and insurance purposes.
The tanker market requires specialized knowledge and real-time market intelligence. APS Shipbrokers advises on all tanker segments — crude tankers including VLCCs, Suezmax, and Aframax; clean and dirty product tankers (MR, LR1, LR2); chemical tankers (IMO II/III); and niche tonnage such as bitumen/asphalt carriers and vegetable oil tankers. Our deep understanding of freight rate cycles, global orderbook levels, refinery trade flows, and environmental regulations — including CII ratings and EEXI compliance — ensures that buyers and sellers make informed, well-timed decisions. Whether you are acquiring your first product tanker or divesting a VLCC from an aging fleet, we provide confidential, expert guidance at every stage of the transaction.
From Handysize (15,000–35,000 DWT) to Ultramax, Panamax, and Capesize (100,000+ DWT), APS Shipbrokers covers the full dry bulk spectrum. We monitor supply and demand fundamentals across all major bulk commodities — grain, coal, iron ore, bauxite, and fertilizers — alongside scrubber-fitted vessel premiums, eco-design trends, and fleet age profiles. Our brokers have hands-on experience negotiating bulk carrier transactions across all major registries and flag states, ensuring clean title transfers, compliant documentation, and competitive pricing. Whether you are expanding a fleet for a long-term cargo program or selling a single vessel, we position your asset to attract serious, qualified buyers globally.
The container shipping market moves fast, and vessel values can shift significantly with freight rate cycles, alliance restructuring, and new slot capacity. APS Shipbrokers handles container vessel transactions across all size categories — from small feeder vessels (under 1,000 TEU) serving regional trade lanes, to Sub-Panamax, Panamax, and Post-Panamax tonnage, through to Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) of 18,000 TEU and above. We advise on both geared and gearless vessels, reefer-plug capacity, and fuel efficiency ratings that increasingly drive buyer appetite. Our network spans liner operators, regional carriers, independent owners, and investors — giving sellers maximum market exposure and buyers access to both public listings and off-market opportunities.
Multipurpose vessels (MPP) and general cargo ships remain among the most versatile and resilient asset classes in commercial shipping. APS Shipbrokers specializes in the sale and purchase of MPP tonnage capable of carrying breakbulk, project cargo, heavy-lift, containerized, and bulk cargoes in a single vessel. We cover a wide range range of MPP types — single and tweendecker general cargo ships, heavy-lift vessels with onboard cranes up to several hundred tonnes, project cargo carriers, and open-hatch bulk/multipurpose vessels. This segment attracts a diverse buyer base including industrial cargo operators, freight forwarders with asset strategies, regional tramp operators, and fleet investors. Our brokers understand the technical nuances — crane capacity, hold dimensions, draft restrictions, and cargo gear certification — that determine value and marketability in this specialist segment.
As members of leading maritime associations and recognized by industry peers, we uphold the highest professional standards. Continuous education, research, and adherence to regulations ensure we remain at the forefront of maritime trends. Our mission is to facilitate transactions that benefit all parties while maintaining integrity and transparency.
