Vessels for Sale
Schellhammer Brokerage facilitates introductions and negotiations for the sale and acquisition of commercial vessels.
We work with buyers and owners on individual vessels, fleet transactions and specialist requirements. Each enquiry begins with the intended operation, the technical brief and the commercial terms, allowing discussions to focus on relevant options.
Commercial vessel enquiries
We welcome requirements across a range of vessel types:
- Tankers: crude oil tankers, bunker tankers and LNG or LPG carriers.
- Cargo vessels: general cargo ships, multipurpose vessels, RoRo ships and livestock carriers.
- Tugs and support vessels: harbour tugs, offshore support vessels and marine assistance craft.
- Specialist vessels: dredgers, oil spill response vessels and other vessels for defined operational needs.
Availability is discussed directly in response to your brief. If your requirement falls outside these categories, send us the details so we can assess whether we can assist.
Buying a vessel
Tell us the vessel type, intended trade or operating area, capacity, preferred age range and budget. Flag and class preferences, technical specifications and the required delivery location help narrow the enquiry.
We coordinate introductions, the exchange of available information and commercial discussions. Inspections, condition assessments and document reviews are arranged with the parties and their appointed technical and legal specialists.
Selling a vessel or fleet
For an initial discussion, provide the vessel’s particulars, location, ownership or authority to sell, asking terms and available documentation. For a fleet sale, a summary of the vessels and your preferred transaction structure is useful.
We agree how the opportunity should be presented and what information may be released before approaching potential buyers. Sensitive details are handled privately throughout the process.
New-build requirements
We also welcome enquiries for new-build projects and introductions to suitable shipyards and specialist partners. A clear operational brief, indicative budget and delivery target provide the starting point for assessing possible routes forward.
Design, engineering, class requirements and construction proposals are developed with the relevant shipyard and marine professionals.
Discuss your vessel requirements
Whether you are buying, selling or planning a new build, send us a short outline of the project and your timeframe.
