Brentvale is broker, agent and coordinator and does not currently own vessels. Each job is delivered directly or through vetted partners, confirmed in writing before work starts.

How vessels and counterparties are checked

Checks run both ways: you assess us, and we assess every counterparty, vessel and partner before committing.

Counterparties: identity, authority to transact, and the commercial basis of the mandate.
Vessels: class, certificates, insurance and inspection history, vetted before nomination.
Partners: registrations, track record and capacity for the job.
Terms: scope, responsibilities and payment agreed in writing before mobilisation.

What to send us

Short answers are fine; mark unknowns “to be confirmed”.

To move cargo: Cargo and quantity, load and discharge ports, laycan or dates, and who is chartering.
To charter a vessel: Vessel type and key specifications, operating or trading area, charter period and delivery window.
To buy a vessel: Vessel type, size and age range, delivery area, budget basis and timing.
To sell a vessel: Vessel name or particulars, location, asking basis and timing.

Acknowledgement and reference number by email, straight away.
A call or message by the next business day to confirm the requirement, timing and who is transacting.
Options and terms in writing: who delivers what, and the price.
