Dubai-based bulker shipowner Tomini Group plans to commercial manage its vessels in-house from now on. This means that the shipowner will assume full responsibility for all aspects of commercial management, including chartering, freight operations, and client relationships.
The news came to light yesterday by Denmark’s Alpina Chartering ApS, which had many years of cooperation with Tomini, handling the company’s commercial management. Tomini was managing the ownership and the technical operations.
Alpina Chartering ApS reported that “After many successful years of collaboration, Tomini Group will be bringing its commercial management operations in-house, transitioning from its current arrangement with Alpina Chartering Aps.”
The transition will take place over the course of the coming year, allowing for “a smooth and effective shift” to the new management structure, as Alpina Chartering claims in its statement.
Alpina have been partners and commercial managers for Tomini Shipping for over 40 years and presently operate many modern bulk carriers of 38,000 mt dwt up to 208,285 mt dwt.
To remind, Tomini Shipping is a family-owned business whose roots have been deeply embedded in the shipping industry for over 70 years, now headquartered in Dubai and represented by fourth generation of the Shaikh family.
Alpina Chartering is also a family-owned business which is now represented by next generation of the Kampmann family which has been active as charterers and ship operators for over half a century in Denmark and abroad.
