Charter Broker for Bauxite

The task is to secure a dry bulk carrier for 200,000 tonnes of bauxite, loading at the port of Kokaya, Guinea and discharging at Yantai, China. Laycan runs 10 – 20 August, and the freight target is US $24 per tonne on a voyage charter basis. I will pay a flat US $10,000 agency fee once the charter party is fully executed.

Key requirements
• Vessel type: dry bulk carrier
• Condition: must be in excellent working order, routine class & flag state compliant
• No additional certification beyond normal regulatory standards is necessary

Deliverables
1. A fixed, mutually-signed charter party covering the stated cargo, route, laycan and rate
2. Proof of the vessel’s current class status and latest inspection report
3. Full fixture recap including broker’s commission statement

Smooth communication with owners, negotiation of the freight rate at or below the US $24/t target, and coordination of all fixture documentation are essential.
