Transparency

Our philosophy is to add transparency to the risk management and hedging process. Our daily and fixed freight structures are designed to reassure you that we are objective and on your side, unlike a Shipowner, helping you choose the best available strategies for your specific situation.

The Freight of hedging instruments is not transparent. A key part of the service that we provide is to negotiate with the shipowners in order to reduce the excessive ‘hidden’ margins charged on hedging instruments. As we use the same market data-driven Freight models as the ship operators, you can be assured that you have achieved a fair Freight Rate for your hedge.
