Independent Dry Bulk Brokerage

Dry cargo, every ocean — chartered by mariners.

Montline Chartering connects cargo with the right tonnage across the Black Sea, Mediterranean, Baltic and beyond. Founded by Master Mariners, run as a hands-on commercial desk.

Who We Are

A chartering desk built on the bridge.

Montline Chartering is an independent dry bulk brokerage founded by two Master Mariners who served as commanding officers on cargo vessels.

We didn't learn shipping from a textbook — we lived it on the bridge, in the holds, and through every weather the sea could throw at us. We know how cargo is loaded, how vessels perform in real conditions, and what actually matters when it comes to safe and efficient fixture execution.

We connect cargo with the right tonnage through direct owner relationships, real-time market intelligence and a straightforward approach built on trust and operational expertise.
