Our primary chartering client is Schnitzer Steel. We work the Pacific and Atlantic basins, with a focus on the coasts of the United States, as well as Mexico. We work directly with prominent ship owners in Australia, Singapore, Northern Europe, and in the United States.
In 1980, George joined A.P. Moller as a Chartering Manager in Maerskbroker. This included working with West Coast clients, Mexican shipping companies and the Bulk Division of the company in Copenhagen.
George moved on to Frontier International Shipping in 1984 (then 50 percent owned by Bocimar) becoming Vice President and a partner. Over the years there he handled a variety of accounts, including steel mills, fertilizer conglomerates, and coal trading groups. In doing so he forged close relationships with a variety of ship owners worldwide.
Eclipse Shipping Inc., started in December 2012, was the logical outgrowth of all the experience and connections garnered over the previous years in the business. Today's principal chartering client is Schnitzer Steel (SSI), with direct owning clients ranging from Japan to Norway. While occasionally fixing capes, the company works primarily in the Handy, Supra, and Panamax sizes.
