Shipbrokering

Port cranes and container ship

We support maritime transactions across a range of vessel types and market environments.

NVS acts as a principals’ representative across the full transaction lifecycle — from market sounding and counterparty identification through to negotiation, documentation, and closing coordination. Senior involvement is maintained at every stage.

Our shipbrokering services include:

  • Ship Sale & Purchase across dry, wet, and specialised segments
  • Chartering — spot, period, and time-charter arrangements
  • Newbuilding contracting and resale projects
  • Bareboat and finance-lease structures
  • Off-market and privately negotiated transactions
  • Tonnage advisory and demolition sales

Each mandate is managed with a focus on confidentiality, disciplined negotiation, and controlled execution. We prioritise outcomes that align with the client’s long-term commercial position rather than short-term volume.

Advisory & Consulting

We provide strategic and transactional advisory aligned with ownership objectives and market conditions.

Engagements range from one-off strategic reviews to retained advisory relationships. We work alongside ownership, finance, and legal teams to provide context, market intelligence, and execution support tailored to each decision.

This includes:

  • Asset and fleet advisory
  • Market intelligence and positioning
  • Transaction structuring and deal coordination
  • Cross-border and multi-jurisdictional coordination
  • Regulatory and legal process coordination
  • Risk assessment and commercial due diligence support
  • Joint venture and partnership structuring

Our advisory role is independent and client-aligned. We do not represent counterparties or carry conflicting mandates, ensuring guidance is shaped solely by the client’s interests.

Strategic & Project Support

For complex or non-standard mandates, we assist clients with high-stakes decisions where discretion and judgement matter.

Strategic mandates often involve sensitive commercial dynamics, multiple stakeholders, and tight timeframes. We bring structure, direct senior involvement, and the ability to operate quietly where visibility could compromise outcomes.

This may include:

  • Market entry and expansion strategies
  • Fleet optimisation, renewal, and repositioning
  • Special situations and distressed scenarios
  • High-level negotiations and stakeholder coordination
  • Confidential mediation between principals
  • Divestment and exit programmes

We support clients where experience and judgment are critical — engagements are scoped tightly, executed with discipline, and concluded without unnecessary footprint.
