Our team of six brokers covers global markets, from intermediate and handy size up to MR, LR1 and LR2, with experience of every type of clean freight on spot, COA and time charter markets over the last thirty years, ensuring you have the optimum cargoes for your ships and vice versa.

From 300-tonne parcels to 30,000-tonne full cargoes and chemicals from acids to xylene, our specialised chartering team are in daily touch with charterers and ship owners, for both information and the chartering of the best quality and most technically advanced parcel tankers on each continent, so that your cargo arrives in the same condition as loaded. We are also able to source these ships for time charter and sale and purchase.

Our operations staff have a depth of experience gained over decades of handling every scenario, from the routine to the extreme; calm heads and steady hands, 24 hours a day.

It is essential that all messages in respect of operations be sent to ops@essexshipping.com. We can accept no responsibility for delay or other consequences if messages are not sent to the ops email or not followed up with a telephone call, especially after office hours.
