End-to-end support for the lifecycle of a vessel — from enquiry to delivery, from first fixture to retirement.
Market intelligence, target lists, price indications, inspection coordination, NSF-based MOA drafting, escrow management and closing. We represent buyers or sellers — never both.
Yard selection across IACS-approved builders, specification and contract drafting, milestone payments, on-site plan approval and sea-trial supervision until protocol of delivery.
Time, voyage and bareboat charters across dry-bulk, container, project and coastal trades. Fixture recaps, demurrage support and operations coordination.
Pre-purchase inspections, condition surveys, on-hire / off-hire, drydock supervision and class record review by experienced marine surveyors.
Flag and class transfer, bill of sale, ISM / ISPS transition, IMO / DOC alignment, port-state compliance and registry liaison.
Introductions to shipping finance partners, leasing structures, sale-and-leaseback, fleet renewal modelling and ESG / CII advisory.
We work on conventional brokerage commission (1% on sale & purchase, negotiable on newbuilding) with no hidden fees. Our letters of appointment are short, plain-English and give you the right to walk away.
For supervision and inspection assignments we quote on a daily-rate or milestone basis depending on scope, with a transparent breakdown of engineer days, travel and expenses.
"We needed a yard with proven delivery discipline and an on-site team we could trust. Golden Shipyard handled supervision from keel laying through sea trials and delivered the vessel on the original milestone schedule."
