Seacorp draws on the extensive expertise of its experienced team to deliver the following services:
Seacorp is Australia's largest independently owned ship broking company.
We specialise in ship chartering for the commodities of iron ore, grains, coal, bauxite, alumina, minerals, fertilisers and cement.
Our chartering team, which has a strong focus on transporting dry bulk commodities destined to China and the Far East, has an intimate knowledge of all of the major trade routes throughout Australasia. This is recognised through our strong relations with all of the major first class owners and operators servicing these regions.
At Seacorp, we consider ourselves an extension of our customers' operations and are steadfastly committed to negotiating the best possible freight solution for them.
We draw on extensive global alliances throughout Asia and Europe to provide clients with the latest market intelligence as well as advise and assist in implementing forward planning strategies. This also includes formulating and executing alternative chartering solutions through the mechanisms of spot charters, consecutive voyage charters and contracts of affreightment to ensure the best freight outcome is delivered for customers.
This critical strategic role includes regular appraisal of charter party terms and conditions, thereby ensuring clients' interests are consistently protected.
Our customers are provided with in depth market information and freight intelligence, such as freight matrixes, to give them the negotiating advantage of comparing landed costs against their competitors.
Our dedicated team of shipping professionals consists of the following chartering desks:
Seacorp is Australia's largest independently-owned provider of ship agency services.
We have branch offices throughout Australia as well as our own offices strategically located in China, Singapore, Africa and Middle East.
Seacorp is distinct from other shipping agents in that our team includes the professional expertise of experienced master mariners.
This stacks up to significant advantages for our clients.
Along with accessing our shipping professionals for the boarding officer role of shipping agent, clients gain simultaneous access to specialised marine services.
Our experienced master mariners are on hand to assist in the preparation of stowage and de-ballasting plans and importantly, reduce incidents of costly vessel delays.
Seacorp distinguishes itself from its competitors by offering a one-stop base for a comprehensive range of marine surveys.
This comprehensive range of independent marine surveys and inspections is provided through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stellar Maritime Services.
These surveys and inspections include:
In the event of disputes with buyers, these independent quality and quantity verification certificates are critical for protecting our customers' position.
Seacorp's commitment to add value for customers is seen in our investment in the on-line document system "SEAWEB".
This internationally-compliant system transfers the complex responsibility of producing commercial shipping documents to Seacorp.
SEAWEB is a live system which facilitates the instantaneous updating of all shipping and commercial documentation associated with a vessel port call.
Saving customers valuable time and resources, SEAWEB checks and cross-checks all commercial documents to ensure customers receive prompt payment for shipment of goods.
Our valued customers who utilise SEAWEB can be assured that the confidentiality of their business transactions is protected.
Commercial information and documentation can not be released to third parties without written authority from the client.
Global Trade Facilitators ("Global") is an integral part of the Seacorp group of companies.
It is becoming increasingly difficult in today's complex and diverse business environment for organisations, particularly small to medium-sized companies, to develop a successful import or export trading relationship with a foreign market.
Quite simply few companies have sufficient expertise within their own organisations to encompass all facets of trade facilitation, especially given time and personnel constraints and the often intricate and perplexing requirements of trading a commodity on the international market.
Uniquely positioned to provide a combination of international trade consultancy and maritime transport expertise, Global offers clients an invaluable tool to successfully navigate the vagaries of international trade.
Steering Global Trade Facilitators' helm is managing director Craig Thompson, who brings 30 years of experience in international trade to the role.
Having represented both ship owners and shippers as a commodity trader, Craig Thompson offers tailored guidance to business owners seeking to initiate or improve their trading arrangements.
Strict procedures for protecting client confidentiality are adhered to.
