 Welcome
to the home page of Vassilev Maritime. We saved no efforts
to introduce to you all aspects of the business and the
structure of our company. We wished that you knew us better
so that we could work with you together better and cooperate
with you more efficiently.
Unlike most web sites of similar
nature, the site we present is meant to be an information
source useful in your day to day work regardless of whether
you are a customer of ours or not. You will find in our
web site updated information about the freight rates we
are fixing our management vessels at, extracts of current
arbitration decisions we have obtained, examples of English
Law interpretation of the most common laytime and other
issues. We are happy to share our knowledge and experience
with you and will appreciate it if you could share yours
with us.
We provide a large scope of services
and trade with goods. You will find in our site a detailed
description of what we do, how we do it and who exactly
in our company does what. This will enable you to contact
directly the person able to respond to your call.
Thank you for visiting us.
