TGF Chartering
Freight strategy, targeted market access and disciplined execution.
TGF works from the first freight view to fixture and commercial follow-through.
Each requirement is positioned around the tonnage that is genuinely relevant, the counterparties most likely to produce a workable result and the level of market exposure the client wants.
Core chartering
Cargo and tonnage coverage across dry bulk markets.
TGF covers spot, contract and selected time-charter requirements across the Handy to Panamax segments, with East Coast South America as its natural centre of gravity and access to international owners and operators across Atlantic and selected global trades.
Controlled market approach
Position the cargo before exposing it.
Before going to the wider market, TGF can assess timing, vessel size, laycan flexibility, loading and discharge terms, relevant tonnage, comparable market signals and alternative approaches. The purpose is to determine how the cargo should be presented and where the best commercial leverage is likely to sit.
Targeted tonnage & counterparty mapping
Availability is not the same as relevance.
TGF narrows the market around position, open dates, trade pattern, cargo fit, owner or operator appetite, restrictions and likely commercial interest.
The same logic applies to counterparties: identify the relevant owner and operator universe, not simply the largest mailing list.
Intelligence
Understand the cargo, current market tone and the options that are genuinely available.
Positioning
Approach the counterparties most likely to produce a workable result — not the entire market.
Negotiation
Drive freight, terms, timing and economics toward a fixture that works for the principal.
Follow-through
Stay commercially and operationally involved through recap and ops.
Trade coverage
Latin America at the core.
International freight markets within reach.
ECSA — Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil — remains the natural centre of gravity, connected to the North Coast of South America, US Gulf, Caribbean, Continent, Mediterranean and selected global trades.
