Dry Bulk Operations & Post-Fixture
25+ years in dry-bulk shipping, most recently as Senior Chartering Manager covering Black Sea, Mediterranean, and Danube trades — including wartime operations in the Ukrainian trade lane. In 2025 alone fixed 237 dry-bulk vessels and managed ~2.14 million tonnes of seaborne steel exports — around 44% of all steel shipped from Ukrainian seaports that year. Deep experience from coasters and river-sea tonnage up to Panamax and Capesize.
Executing high-volume dry-bulk chartering strategies. Proven track record of managing massive export programs, negotiating complex C/P terms, and maximizing TCE across Handysize to Capesize tonnage.
End-to-end voyage execution and post-fixture resolution. From multi-port coordination and bunker strategy to complex laytime calculations, DA vetting, and managing commercial disputes.
Building custom, AI-augmented broker desk software. Python/Django tools for email triage, precise voyage estimating, and ECA-aware routing—designed by a chartering director to solve real desk problems.
Real, runnable maritime calculators — port distance with ECA/HRA exposure, voyage TCE with multi-port voyages, cargo intake under salinity and draft constraints. Each one was built to solve a problem on my own desk first.
