Capesize Dry Bulk Ship Broker

Role overview

Marcenta is a London-based independent dry bulk shipbroker expanding its Capesize desk — built on direct relationships, real-time Baltic index tracking and an AI-assisted intake that means no live enquiry ever waits until Monday morning. We're looking for an experienced ship broker to fix and manage Capesize tonnage across the major iron ore and coal trades, sourcing cargo and vessel positions, negotiating freight and charter party terms, and building direct relationships with owners, traders and miners active in the segment. What You Get
  • Broker-led commercial freedom on a growing Capesize book
  • Real-time Baltic C3/C5 and BCI data on tap, not stale weekly PDFs
  • Direct principal relationships from day one
  • Competitive, performance-based commission structure

Responsibilities

  • Source and verify Capesize cargo and tonnage opportunities
  • Negotiate freight rates, laycans and charter party terms
  • Maintain and grow relationships with owners, charterers and traders
  • Track Baltic Capesize Index (BCI) movements and bunker levels to price fixtures accurately
  • Work closely with the operations desk to ensure a smooth handover post-fixture

What we are looking for

  • Proven experience broking or chartering Capesize dry bulk tonnage
  • Strong understanding of iron ore, coal and major Capesize trade routes
  • Excellent negotiation and relationship-building skills
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, market-driven environment
