Lion Shipping & Chartering Ltd

Lion Shipping & Chartering Ltd functions within the Romanian maritime sector, coordinating diverse port agency services and logistics solutions from its central office in Constanta. The firm manages vessel attendance and cargo operations across the primary gateways of the Black Sea, including the ports of Constanta, Midia, and Mangalia. These activities extend beyond deep-sea berths to include specialized services at river ports along the Danube and the Danube-Black Sea Canal, facilitating smooth transitions between sea-going vessels and inland waterway transport. Technical expertise covers various vessel types, ranging from tankers and bulk carriers to specialized project cargo ships and heavy-lift units. Port agency duties involve comprehensive vessel clearance, documentation handling, and coordination with local port authorities to ensure efficient turnaround times. Crew changes, husbandry services, and the procurement of ship supplies form a core part of the daily support provided to shipowners and managers. The organization also handles logistics for out-of-gauge and heavy-lift shipments, utilizing its knowledge of regional infrastructure to manage door-to-door delivery sequences. The professional standards of Lion Shipping & Chartering are maintained through adherence to internationally recognized quality management systems, specifically ISO 9001:2015. Professional affiliations include memberships in global industry organizations such as BIMCO and the Federation of National Associations of Ship Brokers and Agents. These connections support the team in maintaining rigorous ethical and operational standards within the international shipping community. By focusing on regional expertise in the Romanian market, the staff ensures that all regulatory and customs requirements are met for both transit and local cargo. The range of services also encompasses chartering activities, where brokers bridge the gap between shipowners and charterers to secure suitable tonnage for various commodities. This integrated approach to shipping agency work allows for detailed oversight of the entire port call process, from initial pre-arrival notification to the final departure of the vessel.
