In the effort to provide unstinted services for our Clients,
Andhika Group of Companies has established a service, which
we call Commercial Shipping Management. This service works
for ship owners as well as shippers.
How the service works?
Realizing that many ship owners are challenged to find
transportation contracts or simply the employment of their
vessels, Andhika Group of Companies because of its vast
network in the business of transportation addresses this
niche need.
For Ship Owners
Andhika would employ the vessel on behalf of the ship owner
for contracts in the nature of time charter, bareboat charter,
voyage charter, consecutive voyage charter and contract
of affreightment.
For Shippers and Cargo Owners
Andhika is in the position to provide the most cost effective
transportation means and timely delivery of cargo. This
is done through our extensive shipping network worldwide.
We detect ships in the vicinity of the port where the cargo
is to be shipped and would fix the ship to load the cargo
and deliver it to the designated port.
This arrangement will be beneficial for all concerned,
the shippers, the consignees or the cargo owners. The seller
and the buyer would both save on the cost of transportation.
Usually the transaction of delivery and purchase of cargo
is based on what is known as Free on Board (FOB) or Cost
and Freight (C&F). This is elusive for cost purposes.
Because the final price is determined after the transportation
cost is factored in to the total cost, it is really not
known unless the transportation cost is determined. By employing
Andhikas Commercial Shipping Management service the
cost of moving the cargo is predetermined. Thus, the seller
as well as the buyer would not have to face any surprises
regarding the cost of transportation.
