Cargo Parcelling

Improving vessel utilisation and optimising freight economics.

Combining compatible cargoes allows tonnage to be employed more efficiently, improving returns for owners and delivering better landed economics for cargo interests.

Freight & Bunker Risk Management

Freight markets are inherently volatile.

Northbridge actively manages freight exposure through the disciplined use of Forward Freight Agreements (FFA) and bunker hedging where appropriate.

This enables us to price forward business with greater confidence, support longer-duration commercial commitments and reduce exposure to market fluctuations.

Rather than attempting to eliminate risk, our objective is to understand it, manage it responsibly and create greater certainty for our counterparties.
