Ship Sale & Purchase Brokerage

Ship Sale & Purchase Brokerage

Navigating the vessel sale and purchase market demands expertise, precise market timing, and access to a broad network of qualified buyers and sellers. Esenyel Denizcilik's S&P brokerage desk combines deep market intelligence, decades of negotiation experience, and a vast global network to secure the best possible outcome for every transaction.

Whether you are an owner looking to optimise your fleet composition, an investor seeking opportunistic acquisitions, or a shipyard seeking resale candidates, our brokers act as your trusted advisors throughout the entire transaction lifecycle — from initial market sounding to final delivery and documentation.

Our S&P Process

We begin with a thorough understanding of your objectives, financial parameters, and operational requirements. For sellers, we prepare comprehensive vessel profiles and target marketing campaigns to reach the widest pool of qualified buyers. For buyers, we source candidates that match your technical and commercial criteria, then conduct rigorous preliminary screening before presenting opportunities.

Our brokers coordinate pre-purchase inspections (PPI), facilitate negotiations on MOA terms, and work closely with your legal and technical advisors to ensure a clean, compliant transfer of title. We remain actively involved through to delivery, managing all closing documentation, protocol signing, and flag/class transfer formalities.
