Aligning vessel selection with compliance and project requirements

The cheapest vessel on offer is rarely the cheapest option for the project. A ship without the right gear for the discharge port, a flag that fails a sanctions screen or an owner who cannot pay its crew can stop a project cargo shipment long after the charterparty is signed.

This micro-learning by Proost & Partners and Loxygen gives you a structured way to select breakbulk tonnage. You define the routing logic first, then match multipurpose, heavy-lift, RoRo or specialised vessels to the cargo, the ports and your sustainability targets. You screen the shortlist on charterparty terms, insurance, bills of lading and port fit, and treat sanctions, flag state and Jones Act restrictions as hard filters. You finish with owner financial stability, MLC compliance, the choice between voyage and time charter, and the arrival-side checks that make a vessel execution-ready.
