Our Story
About 22 Maritime
22 Maritime was founded in 2018 by a team of experienced shipping professionals with a clear ambition: to build a shipbroking firm that combines deep market expertise with the agility and personal service that larger firms often struggle to maintain. From our earliest days, we set out to do things differently. We invested in relationships over transactions, prioritised market intelligence over volume, and built a culture of integrity that has become the foundation of everything we do.
What began as a focused operation has grown into a respected international brokerage, trusted by charterers, shipowners, and operators across the globe. Today, 22 Maritime provides comprehensive chartering, sale and purchase, and advisory services across the dry bulk markets. While our reach has expanded, our philosophy remains unchanged: every client deserves a partner who understands their business, protects their interests, and delivers results, consistently.
