Golden Career Ship Management is known in the maritime industry for ship management and crew management. Our Ship Chartering Division extends that maritime foundation into commercial shipping, providing ship chartering and maritime brokerage solutions for the international oil, gas and chemical shipping industries.
From the first cargo enquiry to post-fixture follow-up, we connect cargo interests with suitable tonnage and support each fixture with clear communication and commercial coordination.
Vessel Segments
Four Specialist Tanker & Gas Carrier Segments
Oil, chemical, LPG and LNG tonnage, sourced and chartered to suit each cargo, route and commercial requirement.
SEGMENT 01
Oil Tankers
Oil tanker chartering for crude and petroleum products, from large crude carriers to handy-size product tankers. We help charterers and owners match cargo parcels, loading and discharge ports and laycan with suitable vessels, and support negotiations through to fixture.
Chemical cargoes call for careful vessel selection. We focus on cargo compatibility, tank specifications and vessel suitability, so that the tonnage proposed matches the grade, tank coating or material, and IMO type the cargo requires.
LPG carrier chartering across regional and international trading routes. We source and propose pressurised, semi-refrigerated and fully refrigerated vessels, from small and mid-size carriers to MGC and VLGC tonnage, and structure chartering solutions around your cargo programme.
LNG transportation has specialised vessel requirements, from containment system to vessel age and terminal compatibility. We support the search for suitable LNG carrier tonnage and the commercial discussions that follow.
