About

Unity Maritime

Unity Maritime owns and operates a fleet of top tier dry cargo ships

2012

We started our business in 2012 and since then, and despite years of headwinds in the dry bulk sector, our fleet has continued to grow with further class-leading ships delivered from the best Korean and Japanese shipyards.

Operating under the UK tonnage tax regime, we are committed to the UK shipping industry as our commercial and technical operations are run from our headquarters in London.

2021

Since 2021, our focus has been to grow our fleet, focusing on geared super eco tonnage.

Our fleet is mostly eco, Japanese built tonnage and of a young age. Our ships are highly regarded by numerous top tier charterers that we have been cooperating since our foundation, and our commercial management is very experienced, strategic, and long term focused.

2022

In 2022, we have established Unity Ship Management, which is our ship management technical and operation arm.

Moving from third party ship management arrangement to an in-house ship management company is a result of our fleet growth and of our intention of improve our services to our charterers and collaborators.

Our fleet growth has continued, and with the same specifics of the previous year, namely geared super eco Japanese built tonnage.

Our success is based on long term cooperation with major global shipping and logistics companies and leading commodity trading houses

A Sustainable Future

We are committed to working collaboratively with industry peers to deliver a more sustainable, decarbonised future for global shipping

We are acutely aware that shipping is the lifeline of global transportation, and the direct connection this has with the climate, people, and the global economy.

As the shipping industry is going through a revolution at all fronts, we understand that our maritime future will be different from our past or present.

We are a progressive shipping company but are mindful that our future projects must be commercially viable, otherwise they will not be sustainable.

Our fleet is compatible and compliant with all regulation, including the future known ones.

For us that is not enough, and we are actively investing in maritime technologies, both hardware and software, to further improve our fleet efficiency and carbon footprint.

FLEET

The Unity fleet consists of dry bulk ships that were built by the best shipbuilding groups of South Korea and Japan

Most of our ships are in the geared category, and that enables us to carry a large variety of cargos and to load and discharge in a large proportion of global ports. Our fleet is modern and we are very proud in our quality tonnage, specification and makers lists and we will always focus on top quality tonnage.

LARGE HANDYSIZE

LARGE HANDYSIZE

Bulk carriers with deadweight of 35,000 dwt – 40,000 dwt. This relatively small size allows handysize vessels to enter smaller ports to load / discharge and thanks to on board gears, to pick up or discharge cargoes at ports which lack cranes or cargo handling system. All of Unity large handysize were built in Oshima Shipyard, Japan and are with rich specification that enables operation efficiency and variety of cargoes.

SUPRAMAX

SUPRAMAX

Bulk carriers with deadweight of 50,000 dwt – 60,000 dwt. Equipped with cranes and grabs, this medium size ships are very popular in the dry bulk industry, thanks to their flexibility and diversity. Since respective delivery, all of Unity supramax ships were commercially operated by the same charterers who have been satisfied by the good performance and reliance of our tonnage.

ULTRAMAX

ULTRAMAX

Bulk carriers with deadweight of 60,000 dwt - 66,000 dwt, that are the biggest within the geared subcategory. Their geared specification, together with their optimized dimensions, makes them the most popular size in the dry bulk fleet and the most reliable performer since that design has entered the dry bulk market Unity ultramax ships are very popular by top tier trading houses and shipping companies, thanks to their superior specification and makers lists and well our relentless efforts to maintain top conditions on board.

KAMSARMAX

KAMSARMAX

Bulk Carriers with a carry capacity of 80,000 dwt – 90,000 dwt. This design has optimized the deadweight that can be carried in / out of ports of up to 229 length overall restriction. With the capacity to carry large quantities of cargoes, be fuel efficient and still flexible to navigate major ports around the world, makes this design very popular in the dry bulk industry Unity Kamsarmax ships, are larger than the standard Kamsarmax size, but with a shallow draft, that maximizes Panama Canal passage and therefore very popular from grain trade east west,
