Chester Shipping Limited is a well-established ship manager controlling a fleet of general cargo ships from its head office in Piraeus. The company’s ships are trading around Europe and Asia, including the Far East, with cargoes of containers, steel and bulk commodities including grain, scrap and coal.

The company has close relations with the Ukraine whence it draws its seafarers from its well establish manning pool managed by its own Kiev office. From its Piraeus office, the company provides the full technical management for its fleet, including the supervision of maintenance programmes and dry docking, to classification requirements. The company’s DPA and CSO, with their safety and security departments, are also in this Piraeus office with the insurance department.

The company has its own commercial and operational departments as it habitually trades its ships under voyage charters often with the cargoes of businesses with which it already has established associations. On the other hand, the company also negotiates and arranges voyage charters on the open freight market for its ships with third parties whenever it is convenient.

Thus Chester Shipping offers its ship-owning principals a complete and varied technical and commercial service of a high standard whilst ensuring their ships are well-manned, maintained and operated in the most advantageous manner in accordance with the current disciplines of the industry.
