A shipping supervising agent oversees an operation on behalf of the counterparty, whether this is the vessel owner or charterer. This is to ensure that their principle reduces the risk of being a victim of fraud, or liable to damages that arise as a result of negligence by the nominated party.
Supervising agents are recommended for charterers and shipowners when they are operating in a new area, where there are unusual rules on tariffs, or they are unfamiliar with the nominated agent.
Cory Brothers act as supervising agents for our principles across our network. Please get in touch for more information today.
