Seas Consulting operates as a provider of competitive and reliable marketing, chartering and financing solutions for our in-house trading desks, which are focused on oil, gas, metals, minerals, alternative energy and sustainable sashimi grade products. We believe supporting our in-house trading desks is one of our strongest assets and continues to fuel our growth. In addition, our transition from an agricultural to sustainable seafood model not only distinguishes us within the industry, but also positions us for the future.

What is marketing?

In our business, marketing is defined more broadly than advertising or promotion. At Seas, marketing is about conducting research, aligning resources and problem solving. For more than a decade, we have been responsible for moving commodities from where they are in abundance to where they are lacking. Seas Consulting provides marketing and freight services to our group of conglomerate companies, as well as third-party clients.

Seas Consulting provides both wet and dry freight desk services. At the heart of our chartering operation is an extensive fleet of wet and dry vessels that serve both as in-house charters and on behalf of third-party clients. We fix vessels on spot voyages to specific destinations. In addition, we execute buy/sell contracts of affreightment (COAs) and manage ships on a time-charter basis from 30 days to five years. Anywhere in the world.

Our vessel screening policy is carefully managed to ensure safety and reliability of freight services. Additionally, a key component of our operations includes our ability to buy and sell freight in physical markets to optimize chartering efficiency.

We collaborate across our network of companies to find comprehensive financial solutions that address a wide range of needs, including in-house projects. In addition to food industry expertise, we also have extensive experience financing projects for a number of energy industry products, among them oil and gas, minerals and metals, and alternative energy sources.

Our financial solutions are fueled by unique market insights, commodity risk management expertise, innovative thinking and advisory services to address price and volatility risk in-house. Extensive experience with commercial hedge strategies and marketing intelligence adds to our strong base of financial capabilities.

Here, solutions include the tools and platforms necessary to manage budgets, stabilize input prices and purchase more competitively.
