Dry bulk, heavy lift and breakbulk chartering worldwide — precise, dependable, and rooted in decades of Hanseatic shipping expertise.
CONTEX Chartering GmbH is a Hamburg-based ship chartering specialist. From the heart of the Hanseatic city, we connect cargo owners with the right tonnage — matching every shipment to a vessel built for the job.
Our focus is dry bulk, heavy lift and breakbulk. Whether it is a full cargo of aggregates or a single oversized project piece, we handle the fixture, the negotiation and the operation with the diligence our clients expect from a Hamburg shipping partner.
One point of contact from enquiry to discharge — negotiation, fixture and operational follow-up.
Handysize and coaster tonnage for aggregates, grains, minerals and steel products. Spot fixtures and period charters, 2,000–30,000 dwt.
Oversized and out-of-gauge cargo — transformers, cranes, plant modules. Vessel selection, stowage planning and lift coordination.
Steel, pipes, machinery and general cargo that won't fit a box. Tailored fixtures with the right gear and the right ports.
