Sale & Purchase.

Buying or selling a commercial vessel starts with a clear brief. ANHOR identifies relevant counterparties, coordinates the exchange of particulars and supports negotiations through the agreed stages of the transaction.

Buy a vessel Sell a vessel

For buyers

Define the vessel type, capacity, essential particulars, indicative budget, timing and delivery area. We research relevant opportunities, collect and compare available particulars, contact sellers and authorised representatives and support commercial negotiations.

Buy a vessel

For sellers

The vessel’s particulars, operating status and commercial expectations establish the brief. We agree the mandate and approach to the market, prepare and circulate the agreed information, identify potential buyers, handle expressions of interest and coordinate negotiations.

Sell a vessel

Operating vessels. Commercial transactions.

We consider vessels in active service as well as units being released from a fleet. Current employment, availability and the proposed delivery position form part of the commercial brief. A sale with existing employment requires assessment of the specific transaction and the parties’ agreements; transfer of a charter is never assumed.

Commercial coordination

We coordinate commercial exchanges concerning inspections, documentation, the memorandum of agreement (MOA) and delivery. Surveys, technical due diligence and legal advice remain with the appointed professionals. ANHOR acts as broker and does not own the vessels or hold transaction funds.

Scope, representation and remuneration are agreed in writing before the assignment proceeds.

We screen vessels and parties against UK, EU and US sanctions. We do not handle sanctioned vessels or parties.
