About

Where the group’s commercial engine runs.

Kentbulk Inc. is the commercial and operating company of the Handysize group. We do not own ships. Instead, we take our commercial position through time-charter (TCT) and period vessels and manage every commercial activity around them.

Working hand in hand with the Handysize Chartering Pool, The Freight Platform and Shipdata, Kentbulk turns market intelligence into executed voyages, coordinating investors, hedging exposure and running day-to-day operations with discipline and transparency.

What we do

Commercial. Investment. Trading. Operations.

01

Commercial Activity

We run the group's commercial operations, from cargo and market coverage to fixture execution and post-fixture commercial management.

02

Investor Relations

The point of contact for the group's investors, structuring participation, reporting transparently and aligning capital with commercial opportunity.

03

Trading & Hedging

Freight and bunker trading with disciplined risk management, hedging exposure across FFAs, bunker swaps and voyage-based instruments.

04

Ship Operations

Full operatorship of our time-chartered (TCT) and period vessels: bunker procurement, agency appointment and every commercial activity through the voyage.

Operatorship

End-to-end operation of our TCT & period vessels.

When we take a vessel on TCT or on period, Kentbulk operates it in full. We handle bunker procurement and stemming, agency appointment and husbandry, laytime and voyage operations, and every commercial activity from delivery to redelivery, so each fixture is executed cleanly and profitably.

Our commercial desk pairs this operational control with active trading and hedging, protecting voyage economics against freight and bunker volatility while keeping our investors fully informed.
