Carbon Shipping's Consultancy practice provides independent, expert advice to investors, shipowners, financial institutions, and corporate boards navigating the complexities of the maritime sector. Our consultants bring deep operational expertise — having worked as Heads of Chartering, Ship Owners, and Operators.
From advising on vessel acquisition strategy to preparing vessels for sale, and from structuring ship finance deals to achieving SIRE vetting approvals, we provide practical, actionable guidance at every stage of the maritime asset lifecycle.
We provide investment consulting and advisory on maritime assets — advising CFOs, Boards, sovereign wealth funds, and private equity on vessel acquisition strategy, fleet renewal, and asset monetisation. Our analysis covers market timing, asset selection, and returns modelling.
We assist shipowners and investors in structuring and securing ship finance — working with commercial banks, export credit agencies, leasing houses, and private lenders. We provide independent advice on deal structures and connect clients with the most appropriate financing sources.
Carbon Shipping acts as Sale & Purchase broker for both buyers and sellers of second-hand tonnage. Leveraging our global network and market knowledge, we identify counterparties, negotiate MoA terms, and manage the transaction through to completion.
We prepare vessels and crew for SIRE (Ship Inspection Report) and CDI inspections — one of the most critical commercial requirements for tanker vessels. Our vetting consultants conduct thorough pre-inspection audits, crew coaching, and deficiency remediation to achieve top-rated results.
Maximising vessel sale price requires careful preparation. We advise on defect rectification priorities, documentation completeness, vessel presentation, and buyer due diligence management — ensuring your asset achieves its best possible value in the market.
We provide specialist consultancy on terminal operations, tankage investments, and berth utilisation. Our experience on both the vessel and shore side enables us to bridge the gap between ship operators and terminal operators, optimising logistics and commercial arrangements.
Banks, leasing companies, and export credit agencies requiring independent maritime advisory to support lending and investment decisions.
