Chartering & Freight Services

Tailored Chartering for Breakbulk, Project & Special Cargo

Shipping Point sources the right vessel at the right price and window for your route across the Black Sea, Mediterranean, and beyond. From Varna, Burgas, and Balchik we broker competitive freight and coordinate operations end-to-end, so your cargo sails on time with full charterparty compliance and transparent costs.

We combine market intelligence with a KPI-driven and SLA-based workflow. As a pragmatic 3PL/LLP partner, we align carriers, terminals and inland legs, cut lead time and total cost-to-serve, and keep full visibility through proactive updates. The result: reliable fixtures, predictable ETAs and controlled risk for every shipment.

Our chartering and freight desk blends daily market knowledge with rigorous process control to deliver fixtures that stand up operationally and commercially. We map each move from origin to final delivery, select suitable tonnage, and negotiate the most appropriate charterparty terms—voyage, time charter or COA—balancing freight, transit time and risk. Early in the cycle we validate draft, air-draft and berth constraints, check seasonal restrictions in the Black Sea and Mediterranean, and propose the optimum port rotation with contingency options.

For breakbulk, heavy-lift and project cargo, our team prepares stowage plans and lashing concepts with stevedores and surveyors, making sure the vessel can work safely and efficiently at Varna, Burgas, Balchik and partner terminals. We synchronize pre-carriage/on-carriage, arrange permits, and secure time-critical equipment to protect the sailing window. Throughout the shipment, we provide milestone updates—NOR tendered, loading complete, bunkering, passing waypoints, and ETA adjustments—so your operations and chartering teams always have a single source of truth.

Our methodology draws on supply-chain best practice from the second document: SCOR-style planning clarifies the plan–source–deliver hand-offs; VMI ideas applied to spares and dunnage reduce quay waiting; and governance reviews keep partners aligned on KPIs such as on-time performance, laytime consumption and exception rates. When multiple providers are involved, we act as an LLP/3PL coordinator to streamline communication, align incentives and ensure transparent decision-making.

Commercially, our reporting focuses on the true drivers of freight and total cost-to-serve: seasonality, ballast exposure, port productivity, weather risk and contract terms (laytime, demurrage, despatch). By turning these into measurable KPIs, we help you standardize tenders, compare carrier performance, and continuously improve results across your Bulgarian and international lanes. In short, we secure the ship, the schedule and the numbers—so your cargo arrives on time, safely and at the right cost.
