Sector Expertise

Chemical Shipping

Chemical shipping is one of the world’s most complex shipping sectors, with very high barrier to entry due to varied type and technical and operational requirements of the chemical industry. Drewry’s advisory team works with various stakeholders in a wide variety of assignments including market analysis, sector due diligence, seafreight strategy formulation and assessment of investment opportunity.

Drewry provides strategic, commercial and technical advisory services to shipowners, investors, lenders and industrial users. Our approach is to provide bespoke services to each client, working to ensure that each project focuses on achieving its core objectives and that the analysis we prepare answers the client’s fundamental project questions. These questions range from whether it is the right time to invest in the sector to how to manage seafreight to ensure corporate competitiveness.
