Shipbrokers maintain large databases of vessel positions, cargoes, and rates, paying constant attention to the direction of the markets so as to advise their clients accurately as to how to maximize profits or minimize expenses. They are engaged to act either for a ship owner looking for employment for a ship, or a charterer with a cargo to be shipped. The shipbroker takes a standard 1.5% commission based on the value of the freight - including demurrage - from both ends of the deal. A ship owner may contract exclusively with a broker for a lower 1% commission. For small cargoes and less travelled routes, the shipbroker may up their commission to 2.5%. | Shipbrokers maintain large databases of vessel positions, cargoes, and rates, paying constant attention to the direction of the markets so as to advise their clients accurately as to how to maximize profits or minimize expenses.
