About

Founded in the UK in 1997, Chart Shipping is a ship brokerage and consultancy specialised in all vessel types supporting the Offshore Oil & Gas and Renewables industries.

Originally focused on the challenging West Africa offshore market, over the years we have expanded our service to provide comprehensive coverage of the global offshore support vessel (OSVs) market, and undertake projects in locations as varied as New Zealand, the Black Sea, Eritrea and Chile.

We offer many years’ experience of OSV chartering. An additional benefit is that our team comprises individuals with a diverse range of prior experience within the offshore and marine industry, giving us a deep knowledge of operational issues. As a matter of company policy, we are completely independent with no agency agreements or other affiliation whatsoever with any vessel owners. We guarantee a totally transparent and impartial service.

Headquartered south of London near Gatwick Airport, Chart Shipping is well placed to coordinate transactions between Asia and the Americas while being within easy reach of a nucleus of our clients in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. In addition to our headquarters in the U.K. we also have representation in: Perth, Australia; Barcelona, Spain; Accra, Ghana and Paramaribo, Suriname.

Chart Shipping enjoys an excellent track record and growing list of repeat customers, which serves as proof that we are meeting our goal to provide an unsurpassed yet highly individualised level of service to our customers. We have earned a much valued position of trusted advisor to many of our clients. These include oil independents and majors who wish to outsource vessel procurement projects, as well as vessel owners looking to acquire or dispose of tonnage.
