Our Services
Whether you’re a charterer with a cargo, an owner with an open vessel, or already mid-voyage and need operational support, Marcenta runs the process end to end — backed by real-time market data and a human broker on every fixture.
01 — For Charterers
We fix single voyages, contracts of affreightment and time charters across Handysize to Capesize, matching your cargo to the right vessel at a rate that reflects the market — not a guess.
02 — For Shipowners
We put your open tonnage in front of active charterers the moment it’s available, handling documentation, circulation and negotiation so your vessel earns from her next port, not her third.
03 — Post-Fixture
A fixture isn’t finished at the recap. Our operations desk tracks the voyage from NOR to final discharge, protecting your laytime position and catching discrepancies before they become disputes.
04 — Project & Breakbulk
Out-of-gauge, heavy-lift and breakbulk cargo needs a broker who plans the vessel and the stow before subjects are even discussed. We source geared tonnage suited to the cargo’s dimensions and coordinate loading requirements with owners and terminals from the outset.
05 — Survey & Inspection
We arrange and coordinate independent third-party surveyors on your behalf — draft surveys, condition/on-hire surveys, and cargo-quality inspections (moisture, TML, SGS certification) — so quantity and quality disputes are caught before they cost you.
06 — ShipWithMarcenta
Our AI chartering desk gathers cargo, vessel, operations and finance enquiries the instant they arrive, and hands off to the right member of the Marcenta team. Every AI-guided conversation runs alongside a live snapshot of Baltic indices and VLSFO bunker levels, so the first answer you get is already grounded in today’s market. The desk is currently in testing — every conversation is followed up by a human broker.

We work globally across the major dry bulk trade lanes — iron ore, coal, grain, minerals, fertiliser, cement and bagged cargo — from Handysize coasters to Capesize and Newcastlemax tonnage.
No. The AI desk is a first-response layer that gathers information instantly; every quotation, match or fixture is confirmed in writing by an authorised member of the Marcenta team before it’s binding.
Our operations desk monitors laytime and demurrage throughout the voyage specifically to catch discrepancies early, and supports both charterers and owners through resolution when a dispute does arise.
