Interocean Group of Companies
Pioneers in Indian Ship Broking, we continue to lead the industry over the past five decades with innovative systems and constant up-gradation of technology. A rapid increase in shipping movements has created a demand for specialised service for our domestic and foreign clients thus in order to cater successfully to the principals customised needs, the Ship Broking department is divided into three divisions namely Dry Cargo Chartering, Tanker Chartering & Sale-Purchase & Demolition Broking. These divisions act as exclusive or competitive brokers on behalf of principals and are further split into cargo or tonnage specific desks which facilitates prompt and efficient responses to all enquiries received. Each of these desks consists of trained brokers rendering quality services to their respective principals. Prior being assigned the profile of a Ship Broker or Post Fixture Operations executive, the individuals are exposed to our relevant port offices or the agency division in the Head Office. This enables them to understand vessel and cargo operations as well as appreciate the relevance of crucial Charter Party clauses. Access to our centralized database enables us to guide principals with any information they may need during the negotiations. INTEROCEAN is a Founder Member on the panel of Ship Brokers established by The Government Of India, Ministry of Shipping (popularly referred to as TRANSCHART) since 1961. Majority of the Indian Government Undertakings channelise the fixing of tonnage for their import cargoes through TRANSCHART. These cargoes range from fertilizers, coal, iron ore, general cargo, clean & dirty petroleum products, chemicals, gases and other liner cargoes.

The tanker chartering division is segregated into four cargo specific desks : • Clean : The clean desk works cargoes and vessels ranging from 5,000 Metric Tons upto LR2 size and handles Indian import, export and coastal cargoes as well as other cargoes moving world wide.

We also work cargoes and tonnage of Foreign Oil Companies, Traders as well as Ship Owners and Operators. • Specialised : Growing demands of the increasing population as well as rapid industrialization, has made India very active in the import and export of Edible Oils, Chemicals and Gases, etc. Based on the close association we have with several Owners and Charterers of such specialized tonnage, we secure a substantial share of this business.
