Dry Bulk Transportation

Your trusted partner in dry bulk shipping – Alestamar International has long-term expertise in vessel chartering and brokerage for a wide range of cargoes including cement, steel, fertilizers, grain, coal and project cargoes.

To keep pace with industry trends, we rely on an extensive international network of personal contacts, agents and correspondents. This network supports our ability to adapt quickly to changing market conditions and customer requirements while maintaining dependable service quality.

Our chartering department is primarily focused on the dry cargo segment and works worldwide with a broad network of partners. By understanding our clients’ cargo profiles, route priorities and commercial pressures, we offer practical and tailored solutions designed around real market conditions rather than generic freight ideas.

Alestamar International’s chartering activities include voyage chartering, time chartering, time charter trips and contracts of affreightment for direct charterers, exclusive charterers, ship operators and third parties. Every request is evaluated carefully in order to present the most suitable and commercially effective alternative.

Our brokers remain available to support transport requirements, freight indications and cargo space opportunities with responsive communication and close market follow-up. We aim to provide service that is safe, efficient, cost-effective and timely across every shipment stage.

We are active in international deep-sea bulk trade with a primary focus on worldwide maritime dry cargo and bulk transportation. Cargo volumes range from approximately 1,000 to 85,000 metric tons deadweight, covering bulk commodities such as wheat, corn, fertilizers, coal, cement, sugar, minerals and steel products.

Project Cargo Transportation

For cargoes that do not fall within conventional or bulk categories, yet form part of a wider commercial or industrial project, Alestamar International Ltd provides dedicated project cargo transportation support. These cargoes often require specialized handling methods, suitable lifting and stowage planning, and a high degree of operational awareness.

Regardless of the cargo’s weight, length or dimensions, we offer a qualified and experienced team to support each phase of the transportation process. From planning and routing logic to coordination and execution, our aim is to manage the logistics chain with safety, confidence and care.

Project cargo solutions are shaped around the specific needs of each movement rather than a standard template. We work to understand the actual cargo challenge, identify practical options and support clients with clear communication from start to finish.

Whether the requirement involves heavy pieces, non-standard dimensions or a cargo flow linked to a larger industrial plan, Alestamar International remains committed to providing reliable and customized freight support.

What Adds Value

Our Commercial Approach

Our role goes beyond quoting freight. We support clients through market reading, vessel suitability analysis, commercial comparison and responsive execution. This approach helps create confidence before the fixture and reliability after it.

Freight Awareness

We follow freight conditions closely in order to support better timing, stronger negotiation and clearer commercial decision-making.

Suitable Tonnage

Vessel positioning is approached with attention to cargo, route logic, port suitability and overall commercial fit.

Reliable Execution

We value structured communication and consistent follow-up so that shipments move with greater clarity and fewer surprises.

Tailored Service

Each request is reviewed on its own merits, allowing us to offer solutions shaped around actual cargo priorities and business needs.
