For Brokers
Cooperation, on standard terms.
For brokers holding unadvertised mandates, and those representing buyers.
If you hold a mandate
We maintain registered acquisition criteria from qualified buyers across the US, Caribbean and Mediterranean markets. If you are holding a vessel privately at the owner’s request, we can match it against those criteria without publishing anything.
Where you do want a public entry, it appears in masked form under a reference number, attributed as broker-sourced, with the disclosure boundary you specify.
If you represent a buyer
Enquire against any published reference on behalf of your client. Cooperation terms are agreed before disclosure, and your client relationship is yours — we do not approach a buyer introduced by another broker.
What happens to a submission
- It is held privately. Nothing is published, matched or shared because a form was submitted.
- We verify your firm and your authority over the vessel: credentials, representation status and mandate evidence.
- Three permissions are approved separately and recorded against your submission: private matching against registered buyer criteria, a masked public entry, and disclosure of identity to a qualified buyer. Each can be withdrawn.
- Terms are agreed in writing before any introduction.
What we ask
- That a mandate described as off-market genuinely is one, with the seller position confirmed and attributable.
- That availability claims are accurate. We label unconfirmed entries as potential opportunities and expect the same candour in return.
- That commission arrangements are settled in writing before an introduction, not renegotiated after one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I submit a vessel?
Your submission is held privately and we verify your firm and your authority over the vessel. Nothing is published, matched or shared at that point. Internal matching, a masked public entry and disclosure of identity are each approved separately, with the evidence recorded, and each can be withdrawn.
Does submitting a vessel give you permission to share it?
No. The permissions on the form are requests. We act on a permission only after we have verified your authority and recorded a separate approval for it.
How does co-brokerage work here?
On standard industry terms, agreed in writing before any introduction. Where you hold the mandate, you remain the central agent and we represent the buyer; where we hold it, the reverse. Commission splits are settled before disclosure, not after.
Will my mandate be published?
Only in the masked form you authorise, and only if you want it published at all. Many cooperating mandates are held privately and matched against registered buyer criteria without any public entry.
Do you contact owners directly?
Not on a vessel where another broker holds a mandate. Where a buyer instructs a retained search and a target vessel turns out to be represented, we approach the broker rather than the owner.
What buyer information will you share?
Enough to establish that the buyer is genuine and qualified — budget, size, timeline and position — without naming them until they agree to be named. The same discretion we extend to owners applies to buyers.
Have a mandate that should not be advertised?
We can match it against registered buyer criteria without publishing anything at all.
