Tankers fixed, cargo cleared, ports handled.

Ocean Link is a ship agency and chartering house in Alexandria, Egypt. Since 2014 we have fixed product tankers, cleared petroleum and dry-bulk cargoes and run port calls for traders moving fuel, sugar, rice and fertiliser between the Mediterranean, Rotterdam and Asia.

Four things we do well

Every service is run from our own office in Alexandria, with the Cyprus desk covering Mediterranean and North-European fixtures. One counterparty for the vessel, the port call and the paperwork.

Vessel chartering

Voyage charters and contracts of affreightment for clean petroleum products and dry bulk. We nominate coated, coiled product tankers from MR up to AFRAMAX and LR2, with the full Q88, class, flag, P&I and last-three-cargo record delivered before laycan so your terminal vetting is never the bottleneck.

Ship agency and pilotage

Port agency at Alexandria, Dekheila and other Egyptian ports: pilotage and berth booking, Notice of Readiness, customs and port-authority formalities, crew changes and husbandry. One agent, one daily report, no surprises on the disbursement account.

Registered activity since 2014Egyptian ports, 24-hour duty desk

Cargo handling

Supervised loading and discharge, stevedoring for bagged and bulk commodities, hose connection and pumping supervision for liquids, and coordination of the independent inspector whose certificate the freight is computed on.

Loading and unloading licence since 2021Liquid and dry bulk

Import and export

A licensed import and export office lets us buy, ship and clear commodities on our own account or for principals, which means one counterparty for the goods, the vessel and the paperwork.

How a fixture runs

The same four stages every time, so you know what arrives on your desk and when.

Enquiry and laycan

Send cargo, quantity, loading port and window. We reply with a firm freight rate per metric ton, computed on the inspector's intake certificate.

Nomination

At least 14 days before laycan you receive the vessel's name, IMO number, flag, class, year built, P&I club, Q88 and last three cargoes. Two working days to accept or reject.

Loading and NOR

Our agent tenders Notice of Readiness, supervises hose connection and pumping, and returns the ullage report and B/L the same day.

Voyage and discharge

Daily position reports to any safe port worldwide. Laytime, demurrage and the freight statement are settled on the charter's terms, in writing.

Compliance you can put in front of your bank

Petroleum trades are only as good as their paperwork. This is what we warrant on every charter.

Sanctions screening
Vessel, registered and beneficial owners, managers, flag state and P&I insurers are screened against UN, EU, UK, US OFAC and UAE lists, and the vessel's port calls and cargoes are checked for the preceding twelve months.
Vessel standards
Every nominated ship is entered with an International Group P&I club and carries valid class, ISM, ISPS and SIRE or CDI vetting for the full term of the charter.
Governing law
Charters are made under English law with arbitration in London under LMAA terms, and the Small Claims Procedure for disputes under USD 100,000.
Anti-bribery and AML
We comply with applicable anti-corruption and anti-money-laundering law, including the UK Bribery Act 2010, and our commercial register carries a declared beneficial owner.
