Cargo / Vessel Matching
Selective coordination between cargoes and tonnage based on technical compatibility, route feasibility, and operational suitability — not solely freight rate.
Freight Desk
OMRA Freight Desk
Selective freight support, cargo/vessel matching, and voyage-risk review — commercial coordination with operational intelligence.
Commercial support with operational intelligence
Where commercial coordination meets operational discipline
OMRA Freight Desk supports owners, operators, charterers and commercial teams with selective freight coordination informed by operational and risk awareness. The desk does not aim to compete with brokers or trading houses — it complements them by adding the operational lens that shipping decisions deserve when cargo, voyage and risk converge.
Freight Desk Services
Six disciplines, one operational standard
Freight Market Support
Practical, risk-aware reading of freight market conditions for owners and charterers preparing fixtures, inquiries, or commercial positioning.
Voyage Feasibility Review
Independent review of voyage assumptions — speed, consumption, draft, port restrictions, weather windows, and operational risk — before commitment.
Fixture Support
Operational and technical input during fixture negotiation: clauses, performance warranties, port and cargo specifics, redelivery conditions.
Operational Risk Review
Pre-fixture risk assessment covering port suitability, cargo compatibility, weather exposure, and operational constraints relevant to the proposed voyage.
Post-Fixture Support
Operational follow-through after fixture: performance monitoring, deviation review, port issues, and communication with the technical team.

- Tanker trades — clean and dirty product
