Sale & Purchase

03

Broad market coverage.

Velian’s S&P activity spans a broad spectrum of commercial tonnage, from tankers and larger bulk carriers through containerships, chemical tankers, MPP, RoRo, general cargo and specialised vessels.

Sale & Purchase

Specialist market

04

Shortsea.
Deep market coverage.

Shortsea general cargo represents one of Velian’s deepest areas of market coverage. Years of continuous activity have built direct relationships across a highly fragmented owner and buyer universe throughout Europe, the Mediterranean and beyond.

Knowing the fleet matters. Knowing the owners behind it matters more.

Shortsea coverage
