Commercial Shipbroking 


Empire Crest Limited connects shipowners, charterers, traders and cargo interests seeking maritime opportunities in Nigeria and West Africa. We support commercial discussions from the first enquiry through to a potential fixture, helping each party understand the vessel, cargo, route, timing and proposed terms.

How We Work

We begin by reviewing the client’s requirement. For a cargo enquiry, this includes the commodity, quantity, loading and discharge ports, laycan and any vessel restrictions. For a vessel enquiry, we review its specifications, trading area, availability and the owner’s employment preferences.

We then approach suitable market contacts, share relevant opportunities with interested parties and coordinate the exchange of offers. Where discussions progress, we assist with communication during negotiations and follow up on the information needed to move toward a fixture. Final terms remain subject to agreement between the contracting parties.

Discuss a Requirement

If you have cargo to move or a vessel seeking employment, contact Empire Crest Limited with the available details. Our team will review the enquiry and advise on the next commercial steps.
