The situation
A small fleet
without a commercial desk
With one to five ships there is rarely a full commercial desk: the owner or one operator juggles brokers, charterers, agents and claims, usually on WhatsApp. Work that happens after the fixture is the easiest to drop.
Established in Dubai in 2020, AVS Shipbrokers LLC brings chartering and commercial ship management together, with an ethical, transparent approach to every fixture.

Earnings lost to idle days
USD 180,000
20 days × USD 9,000 per day, before costs that keep running while the ship waits.
02 / Why it works
A ship needs cargo.
Our desk works cargo
Charterers and traders send us cargo in dry bulk, tanker and container trades. When their cargo fits a ship we manage, it can go straight to that ship. When it doesn’t, the same brokers work the open market for it.
