Grimm Maritime

Dry cargo chartering across global markets.

Dry cargo is the core of Grimm Maritime. We act as brokers between cargo owners, charterers and shipowners in shortsea and deepsea trades.

01The broker's role

Chartering is about matching cargo with suitable, available tonnage on competitive terms. We follow positions, open tonnage and market levels daily, and negotiate fixtures on behalf of our principals — from first indication through to signed charter party.

Grimm Maritime is an independent broker. We do not own or operate vessels, which allows us to approach the market with one interest in mind: the right solution for the cargo.
