If required we can arrange maritime insurance covers, as well as claims handling.

We also work worldwide as competitive brokers, with focus on tonnage up to about 10.000 mtdwcc.
Presently, we manage about 15 coasters in the size from 2500 mt dwcc and up to about 5000 mt dwcc.

In 2012 Echoship was awarded the highest credit rating AAA from messrs. Soliditet, a company within the Duun & Bradstreet organization,
just like we were several times upto 2012. This enables our port agents and other business partners to allow us longer credit times which in turn gives a smooth and quick port handling.

Our ships accept most dry cargo carried at sea. Our main activity remains carriage of sawn timber from Baltic to various destinations in UK and Continent. Our yearly volume in this specific trade adds up to close to a million cubic meters and most of it is covered by contracts with very long standing relations.
