Frequently asked
questions

In voyage charter you pay a fixed rate per MT and the shipowner covers all costs. In time charter you hire the vessel for a period and pay daily hire — AGRIX manages all operational costs. The total is typically $3–12/MT lower because you pay only for actual days used and we optimise every cost component.
For standard routes (Black Sea to Africa, Middle East, India) we provide preliminary indicative rates within 2 hours. For custom routes or specific vessel requirements, a full calculation with vessel options and port cost breakdown is delivered within 24 hours.
We specialise in all major bulk grains: wheat (milling and feed), barley, corn/maize, sunflower meal, rapeseed meal and soybeans. We calculate optimal solutions for any grain type and stowage factor.
We work across all Handysize, Handymax, Supramax and Ultramax bulk carriers — 25,000 to 65,000+ DWT. We select the optimal size for your cargo volume, port draft restrictions and terminal capabilities. Vessel size optimisation is one of our key cost-saving tools.
You pay only AGRIX — one counterparty, one invoice. We distribute payments to the shipowner, port agents, fuel suppliers, canal authorities and all other parties. At completion you receive a full financial statement showing every expense item.
For a preliminary rate: cargo type and quantity (MT), loading port, destination port, and approximate laycan. For a firm quote we also need loading/discharging norms, any vessel restrictions at your terminal (max LOA, beam, draft) and preferred payment terms.
Yes. AGRIX is registered with BIMCO (Baltic and International Maritime Council), membership number 181628 — the world's largest international shipping association. Membership signals compliance with international maritime standards and best practices in chartering.
We operate from all major Black Sea and world grain export terminals — Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Turkey, as well as USA Gulf, South America (Argentina, Brazil), Australia, and any other loading port globally. We select the optimal combination based on cargo origin, vessel availability and port costs.
