Aligned with Western Bulk’s long term strategy, the focus at Business Development-Cargo/CoA is to identify and develop longer term cargo opportunities and strategic relationships.

Cargo contracts are entered into for various durations and are aligned with the company’s global trading pattern to capture operational synergies, thereby ensuring stability in earnings and enhanced service levels towards customers.
