Image
A project-cargo fixture should begin with a feasibility study, not with a request for the cheapest vessel.

Kiev Shipping Ltd helps cargo interests prepare the maritime part of that assessment before suitable tonnage is approached.

Steel coils, billets and rebar are all carried as breakbulk cargo, but they place different demands on vessel selection, lifting, stowage, securing and cargo-condition documentation.
