Charter Services From River to Ocean
Vessel Charter
Chaucer Freight provides vessel charters to freight agents, corporations, oil and construction companies worldwide. Freight or cargo vessel charters are provided according to the requirement of the client, nature of the cargo and are available at short notice due to long-term contacts with shipping lines, vessel owners and operators
Chaucer Freight specialises in the following:
Charters for transportation of Heavy and Outsized Cargo.
Outsize cargo can be transported in one consignment avoiding delays and losses in transporting piecemeal shipments by several shipping lines on different vessels.
Charters for transportation of Relief or Aid Cargo.
During international emergencies and disasters when scheduled shipping lines may not have access to the most convenient seaport, direct vessel charter is the ideal solution.
Charters for transportation of Fresh Produce or Perishable Goods.
Fresh and/or perishable goods are safer transported by direct short-sea vessel charter where the delays associated with scheduled shipping lines can be avoided.
Charters for transportation of Urgent "Must Go" Cargo.
When deadlines need to be met on time and airfreight is not an option, vessel charter is the choice when penalty clauses may apply or large amounts of losses are being suffered due to the delay.
Charters for transportation of Dangerous or Hazardous Cargo.
Large amounts of hazardous cargo need to be segregated from general traffic. Vessel charter makes it possible for dangerous cargo to be shipped to their destination in safer conditions being kept in optimum conditions.
Charters for transportation of Motor Vehicles.
To support larger volumes in the motor sport industry or high value rare vehicles.
Charters for transportation of TV and Film equipment.
Smaller charters are available to transport TV & film crews, equipment or stages to areas only accessable by boat
