Maritime Advisory & Brokerage
Clarity Before Commitment
RdM provides focused, desk-based maritime advisory and brokerage support designed to bring clarity before commitment — before deposits are placed, mandates are issued, or deal momentum takes over. Our approach combines independent judgment with market access, ensuring that execution, when undertaken, is aligned, credible, and commercially grounded rather than speculative or volume-driven.
Why Commitments Need Clarity
In shipping, most losses are not caused by bad assets — they are caused by decisions taken too early, under time pressure, with incomplete clarity.
Our role is to introduce calm, independent judgement before capital is deployed or positions are taken.
Core Advisory Services
1) Pre-Deal Sanity Check
Should this deal be pursued at all?
- Fast, independent assessment before time, deposits, or emotions are committed
- Typical outcome: Proceed | Proceed with Conditions | Pause | Do Not Proceed
2) Desktop Vessel Valuation
What is this vessel really worth today?
- Independent valuation grounded in current comparables, liquidity, and transparent assumptions
- Typical outcome: FMV range + market outlook
3) Chartering Feasibility Snapshot
Can this vessel realistically trade or earn?
- Focused feasibility assessment of rates, trades, suitability, and employment risk
- Typical outcome: Viable | Marginal | Not Advisable
Each service is standalone, paid, and independent, and may be credited against execution if a transaction proceeds through RdM.
How We Work
Engagement Discipline
- Context is shared (written preferred)
- Scope is agreed
- Fee is confirmed and paid
- Written output is delivered
What We Don’t Do
- No free opinions
- No speculative circulation
- No execution without alignment
Confidentiality & Communication
Confidentiality is foundational. All information shared is treated as confidential from first contact and reviewed on a need-to-know basis.
Written communication is preferred to maintain clarity and an audit trail. Calls are used sparingly and purposefully where required.
Execution & Selective Ship Broking
Advisory is the entry point. Execution is undertaken selectively — only where clarity, alignment, and commitment exist.
This protects principals, counterparties, and co-brokers from wasted cycles and speculative exposure.
Where to Start
If uncertainty exists, begin with a Pre-Deal Sanity Check. If value is the core uncertainty, begin with Desktop Vessel Valuation. If the question is employment viability, begin with Chartering Feasibility Snapshot.
Why RdM is Different
RdM operates at the intersection of judgment and execution. We are not a volume brokerage, nor a theoretical advisory practice. Our work is advisory-led, experience-driven, and commercially grounded — designed to help principals make better decisions before capital, credibility, or momentum are committed.
Execution, when undertaken, follows clarity rather than precedes it. This discipline protects client outcomes, reputations, and relationships in markets where speed often overwhelms judgment.
