About

A focused chartering house, built on maritime experience.

Independent, Malta-registered, and backed by an integrated maritime group.

DS Chartering Ltd is a Malta-registered company specialising in voyage and time chartering, cargo coordination, freight negotiation and commercial support for dry cargo trades.

The company contracts exclusively in its own name and on its own account, and operates within a wider Malta-based maritime and commercial group active in shipping, logistics and trading — combining the agility of an independent desk with the strength of an integrated organisation.

From single voyages to long-term time charters and dedicated trade routes, we coordinate every fixture with owners, ports, agents, surveyors and insurers — safely, transparently and on schedule.
