Ship Chartering & Private Jet Charter

1About this service

Ship chartering means hiring a vessel, whole or in part, to move cargo. It is the backbone of bulk and project trade between India, Spain and the rest of Europe. We connect traders and importers with reliable shipowners and brokers for voyage charters, time charters and part-cargo shipments, and coordinate port operations at both ends.

Private jet charter gives business travellers, investors and families flexible, time-saving travel across Spain and Europe. Spain is one of Europe's most active private aviation markets, with busy hubs in Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca. We arrange aircraft from certified operators for business trips, investor site visits, events and leisure travel.
