Ocean Charter Arrangements

Some bulk, break bulk, and containerized cargo demands a more dedicated type of ocean service, and that’s when we look to chartering options.  Our team can save time and money for the client by finding the best vessel based on availability, location, cost, etc.  Page & Jones will assist our client in negotiating the most favorable terms possible to get the job done the right way.
