GLOBAL CHIMAKS

To get a bareboat proposal for large-scale tankers (VLCC/Suezmax) or gas carriers (VLGC/LNG), you must approach the Shipping Finance or Marketing departments of the major Chinese leasing houses or specialized international ship brokers.

Here are the direct channels to secure these proposals:

1. Direct Contact: Chinese Leasing Houses

These are the world's largest owners of bareboat-hire-purchase tonnage. They operate primarily out of Beijing and Shanghai.

• ICBC Financial Leasing (Shipping Division)

  • Focus: LNG Carriers, VLCCs, and large container ships.

  • Direct Email: shipping@leasing.icbc.com.cn or market@leasing.icbc.com.cn

  • Phone: +86-10-661059451

  • Address: 19th Floor, Building 5, Yard 1, Yuetan Nanjie, Xicheng District, Beijing.2

• AVIC International Leasing

  • Focus: Ultramax/Kamsarmax Bulk and Mid-size Tankers (Aframax).

  • Direct Email: public@avic-intl.cn

  • Phone: +86-21-22262768

  • Address: 15th Floor, No.1481 Guozhan Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai.3

2. Specialized Brokers (The "Gatekeepers")

If you are looking for a specific vessel already on the water, you go through these brokers who have the "Sale & Charter" files:

• Ocean Marine Brokerage Services (OMBS):

  • Best for: Commercial support vessels and smaller tankers.

  • Contact: +1 985-448-0409 | comboats@oceanmarine.com

• Compass Maritime:

  • Best for: VLCC and Suezmax Sale & Purchase (S&P). They frequently handle "off-market" bareboat deals.

• Fearnleys / Clarksons:

  • Best for: LNG and VLGC. They have dedicated "Gas Desks" that facilitate bareboat-to-purchase options for 2026 deliveries.

3. Required "Entry" Information

To get a formal proposal (not just a flyer), you must send a "Letter of Interest" (LOI). No leasing house will issue a bareboat price without knowing who the "Charterer" is. Include:

1. Vessel Type/Size: (e.g., "158k DWT Suezmax, Built 2018 or newer").

2. Proposed Term: (e.g., "8 years Bareboat with Purchase Option at year 3, 5, and 8").

3. Technical Manager: The name of the company that will actually man and maintain the ship (essential for Bareboat).

4. Security: Confirmation that you can provide a 15–20% "Down Payment" (Advance Hire).
