Services

Everything an operations desk does once the deal is fixed, delivered by an experienced operator who knows the chain from the charter party to the P&L.

01

Post-fixture execution

We take over the execution of your cargoes once the deal is done, and keep every party aligned until the final documents are in.

  • Vessel and cargo nominations to all parties
  • Voyage follow-up, ETA updates and port line-ups
  • Coordination with owners, agents, terminals and surveyors
  • Shipping instructions and documentary requirements
  • Shore tank and stock follow-up
02

Laytime & demurrage

Demurrage is where margins quietly disappear. We make sure every hour is accounted for.

  • Laytime calculations on the main tanker and dry cargo charter parties (Asbatankvoy, Shellvoy, BPVoy, Gencon...)
  • Review of NORs, statements of facts and pumping logs
  • Preparation, submission and defence of claims
  • Back-to-back exposure between purchase, sale and charter party
03

Documentation & LCs

Clean documents get paid on time. We check them before the bank does.

  • LC review against contract terms under UCP 600
  • Preparation and checking of document presentations
  • Bills of lading, certificates of origin, quality and quantity
  • Discrepancy handling and letters of indemnity
04

Vessel vetting & compatibility

Fixing the wrong vessel costs more than the freight savings.

  • Vessel screening and flag state risk
  • Cargo compatibility and last cargoes per tank
  • Q88 review and coating suitability
  • Sanctions and KYC screening support
05

Inspection & quality

Quantity and quality are money. We follow both from load port to discharge.

  • Surveyor appointment and coordination
  • Load and discharge quality comparison
  • Transit loss and outturn analysis
  • Support for quality and quantity claims

Engagement models

Pick the format that fits your desk. Every engagement starts with a short call and a non-disclosure agreement.

One-off mission

A specific file or problem

A demurrage claim to prepare, a disputed outturn, a document set to check. Defined scope, defined deliverable.

Temporary reinforcement

Holidays, peaks, vacant seats

An experienced operator joins your desk for days, weeks or months, working in your systems and procedures.

Ongoing outsourcing

Operations without an in-house team

For trading houses that prefer not to build a full operations team, SharkOps runs execution on a continuous basis.
