A Structured Approach to Maritime Transactions
Our Sale & Purchase and Chartering services are built on structured due diligence, clear authority, and data-backed valuation, ensuring that every engagement progresses with commercial realism and execution integrity.
Ship Sale & Purchase (S&P)
We handle selective, mandate-driven ship transactions, focusing on execution quality rather than transaction volume.
Our S&P coverage includes:
- Second-hand vessel acquisitions
- Strategic fleet disposals
- Off-market opportunities
- Demolition and end-of-life sales (selective cases)
Our execution framework includes:
- Buyer and Seller mandate verification
- Structured KYB / AML / sanctions screening
- Market-backed valuation and pricing guidance
- SALEFORM 2012–aligned MoA management
- Escrow coordination and delivery supervision
Every S&P engagement is progressed only after authority, compliance clearance, and valuation alignment are established.
Chartering (Time Charter & Voyage)
Our chartering desk operates with a strong owner-protection and deal-discipline philosophy, particularly suited for tankers, bulk carriers, gas vessels, offshore and project-related charters.
Our chartering services include:
- Time Charters (spot and period)
- Voyage Charters
- Project and offshore chartering
- Bespoke or technically sensitive employment
Chartering governance highlights:
- Written authority and decision-maker identification
- Engagement Readiness screening before holding tonnage
- Clear recap discipline and subject control
- Post-fixture operational follow-through
We do not hold vessels indefinitely, nor do we engage in repeated speculative pricing iterations without demonstrated charterer seriousness.
Why RdM Ship Broking Is Different
Most brokerage failures occur before negotiations even begin — due to unclear authority, weak counterparty verification, or unrealistic pricing expectations. Our brokerage model is built to prevent this.
Typical Market Practice
- Informal inquiries
- Vague mandates
- Endless “indications”
- Weak counterparty screening
- Person-dependent execution
RdM Brokerage Approach
- Process-led, not personality-led
- Mandatory mandate and authority checks
- Counterparty risk screening before escalation
- Valuation-first commercial alignment
- Deal-gated progression at every critical stage
We qualify deals before we pursue them.
Our Brokerage Execution Framework
Every engagement follows a structured workflow designed to reduce risk and protect all parties involved.
- Inquiry Logging & Requirement Profiling — clear capture of buyer, seller, or charterer intent.
- Mandate & Authority Verification — written confirmation of who is authorized to negotiate and decide.
- KYB / AML / Sanctions Screening — counterparty identity, ownership, and risk assessment.
- Valuation & Commercial Alignment — market-backed pricing guidance using real data and comparables.
- Deal-Gate Clearance → Execution — only cleared deals proceed to negotiation, inspection, or MoA / CP stages.
This framework ensures disciplined execution and avoids premature or high-risk deal progression.
Integrated Valuation Intelligence — RemoteShip360™
Every serious transaction begins with pricing realism.
Our brokerage desk is fully aligned with RemoteShip360™, RdM Group’s structured vessel valuation and market intelligence framework.
RemoteShip360™ provides:
- Evidence-based valuation ranges
- Comparable sales benchmarking
- Adjustments for age, yard, condition, SS/DD, BWTS, scrubbers, and charter cover
- Market sentiment overlays (freight, scrap floor, liquidity)
Valuation is not an afterthought — it is the foundation of our brokerage engagement.
Deal Gating & Engagement Discipline
We Do Not Chase Deals. We Qualify Them.
To protect owners, buyers, and our brokerage integrity, we apply formal deal-gating controls.
We do not progress engagements where:
- Mandate or authority is unclear
- Counterparty verification is incomplete
- Budget or pricing expectations are unrealistic
- Decision timelines are undefined
- Engagements remain speculative beyond reasonable limits
This discipline preserves credibility, owner relationships, and execution efficiency.
Who We Work With
We Engage With
- Shipowners and fleet operators
- Buyers with defined acquisition intent
- Charterers with authority and clarity
- Principals who value structured execution
We Do Not Engage With
