AZTAM Shipbrokers is a dry cargo desk built on a simple idea: a broker's name is worth more than any single fixture. We work orders properly, answer plainly, and stay with the business after it is fixed.
Every order is read.
Circulars reaching us are read and answered by a working broker. A genuine enquiry gets a genuine reply.
Signal, not noise.
We circulate what is genuine and drop what is not. Your order travels with its details intact, never dressed up.
East and West of Suez.
The desk is split across the two basins, so your business is worked in the market it belongs to.
Close to the principal.
We keep broking chains short and commissions plain. Closer to the principal, closer to the fixture.
Cargo circulars, tonnage lists and orders land on one working desk. The genuine business gets worked. We match it against the book, propose it to the right counterparty, and follow it until there is an answer. What is noise is dropped quietly, so your business never queues behind it.
Straight answers about working with AZTAM, and what happens to your order once it reaches us.
Send it to drycargo@aztamshipbrokers.com with the usual details: cargo and quantity, load and discharge, laycan and terms. It is read on arrival, and if the desk can add value you will hear from a broker, not an autoresponder.
Dry bulk and breakbulk: grains and agriproducts, coal, ores and minerals, steels and scrap, fertilisers, cement and clinker, sugar and bagged cargo, and project pieces. Voyage, time charter trip and period.
Both basins. The desk is split East and West of Suez, from the Black Sea, Mediterranean and Continent through the Gulf and Indian Ocean to Southeast Asia and the Far East. Orders are worked in their own market, in its own hours.
The trade's normal terms, stated plainly on every proposal. We keep broking chains short: no hidden addresses, no surprise names at recap. What you see on the order is what the business carries.
Yes. Owners, operators and brokers are welcome. Write to the desk with the subject "Circulation request". Every circular we send carries a one-click unsubscribe, honoured immediately.
Complete, honest details: a real laycan, a real quantity, named load and discharge where possible. The market reads hundreds of circulars a day. The orders that carry their details intact get answered first.
Every circular and order reaching the desk is read the day it lands. Genuine business is separated from market noise before anything else happens.
Your order is set against a live book of cargoes and open positions covering both basins. Size, gear, position and laycan are weighed together.
The right counterparty gets a proposal that carries its reasons. Then the desk follows it, politely and persistently, until there is an answer.
Fixed, countered or declined, you hear back. A market works on answers, and so does this desk.
The desk's book runs across the dry cargoes. These are the flows we see and work every day.
The agricultural flows that move the handy and supra markets, worked from the loaders' side and the tonnage side alike.
Energy and steel-mill coal in full and part cargoes, from the established exporters to the discharge ranges that burn it.
Mineral cargoes across the sizes, from concentrates to lumpy and fines, matched with tonnage that can load and carry them properly.
Finished and semi-finished steel. These cargoes punish careless stowage and reward brokers who know the difference.
The return leg of the steel trade. Scrap flows into the mills, worked with the operators who run this business week in, week out.
Bulk and bagged fertiliser trades in both directions. Seasonal, price-sensitive business that rewards a desk watching it daily.
Construction minerals in steady volume: clinker, slag and aggregates on the routes that build the region.
Bagged and break-bulk foodstuffs. Trades with their own terms and their own norms, worked by brokers who know them.
The cargoes that do not fit a hold chart: units, equipment and project pieces needing geared ships and worked stows.
