Freight changes the trade

Through Navi Merchants, Copenhagen Merchants Group provides dry bulk shipping and chartering across agricultural and bulk commodity markets, connecting cargo, vessels, timing and routes.
Shipping starts with understanding the cargo
Navi Merchants grew out of Copenhagen Merchants’ close involvement in commodity markets and physical trade. That matters because freight decisions are rarely separate from the cargo.
Commodity, timing, ports, routes and vessel availability all shape the commercial outcome. We approach dry bulk shipping with that wider picture in mind.

Cargo. Vessel. Timing. Route.
The essentials
Dry bulk shipping is about getting those four things to work together. Navi Merchants works close to both cargo and tonnage to build freight solutions that make commercial and operational sense.
Chartering
Matching cargo, vessels, timing and routes across dry bulk markets.
Contracts of affreightment
Building freight solutions around recurring cargo flows and longer-term requirements.
Vessel operations
Coordinating the practical execution around vessels, cargoes and voyages after fixture.
Flexible tonnage
Combining owned and chartered vessels to match different cargoes, trades and market requirements.
Project cargo
Providing freight solutions for cargoes that require something beyond a standard dry bulk movement.
Tonnage
The right vessel changes the equation
Navi Merchants combines owned vessels, chartered tonnage and participation in a wider fleet consortium. That gives us flexibility across vessel sizes and helps us match different cargoes, routes and freight requirements.
We are also investing in six new multi-purpose vessels, adding a new generation of flexible and efficient tonnage to our own fleet.

What we move. Where we move it.

Freight intelligence
Know the freight before the fixture
Within Copenhagen Merchants Group, CM Navigator brings freight data closer to the commercial decision. Its freight tools help compare routes, vessel sizes and cargo scenarios, giving traders and charterers a clearer view of freight economics before fixing.
Data does not replace market judgement. It gives it a stronger starting point.
