Project Mandate
We tailor our engagement to the nature and duration of each mandate. For transactional shipbroking or single-vessel projects, we typically work on success-based brokerage commissions aligned with prevailing market practice and clearly agreed at the outset. For strategic chartering support, freight coverage or contract-of-affreightment structuring, we usually operate under medium-term advisory mandates with a monthly retainer plus performance-related incentives linked to benchmark results. Complex investment, asset play and newbuilding projects are normally handled through project mandates that combine an initial scoping fee with milestone-based success fees upon commitment, financing and closing. In every case, our fee structure, scope of work and reporting lines are defined transparently before engagement, ensuring full alignment with our clients’ commercial objectives.

Strategic Retainer
GNG STAR offers flexible mandate structures designed to match the scale and complexity of your shipping needs. Clients may appoint us on an exclusive mandate for a specific vessel, fleet segment or transaction type, giving a dedicated team full responsibility for market coverage and execution. Where appropriate, we also work on non-exclusive or co-broking arrangements that integrate smoothly with your existing broker network. For ongoing maritime advisory—such as market intelligence, portfolio optimisation, or risk management—we favour framework agreements with clearly defined service modules, service levels and review points, so that scope and cost remain predictable over time. All mandates are documented in straightforward terms that specify deliverables, confidentiality, compliance standards and fee mechanics, providing clarity and accountability from day one.
