Ships for sale
Our team supports you through the full purchase process. We have done this work for more than five decades. We listen first and ask direct questions about your trade and risks. Then we share realistic options that match your budget and timeline. You get practical advice, not sales talk. The goal is simple. You buy a ship that works well today and stays useful for years.
Global support for Ships for sale
We combine technical knowledge with a practical way of working. Our scope covers many commercial ship types. Think of tugs, tankers, cargo vessels, workboats, and offshore support units. We understand how these ships perform in daily operations. That helps us judge if a ship fits your route, crew setup, and operating costs.
Our international network gives you access to opportunities that may not be widely advertised. We speak with owners, yards, brokers, and authorities in many regions. You get updates during every step. We also explain what each step means for time, cost, and risk. If you want to learn more about our background, visit about us.
Each project is different. Some clients need a ship that can trade fast. Others plan fleet renewal over a longer period. We match our approach to your planning and your risk profile. You can expect honest feedback about condition, upcoming costs, and realistic delivery dates.
We manage every step so you can focus on yours
Clients work with Shipned because we look beyond the contract. We help you set up hull and machinery inspections. We also help you choose surveyors that fit the ship type and trade. During talks with the seller we point out both strengths and attention points. This supports a well informed decision and fewer surprises later.
After agreement we help manage the paperwork. This includes registration support and export documents. We can also coordinate class and flag topics when needed. Next, we plan the delivery voyage or transport. That can be by sailing, towage, or heavy lift. The best option depends on the ship, the route, and the schedule. You work with one contact person who keeps the process clear.
