The ViaMar AS “Retainer service”

ViaMar can offer in-depth quarterly coverage of the four major shipping markets, spanning the short to medium term; through a forecast of the next 3-5 years. Our focus is to identify the turning points and shifts in the market places. In a world of economical and rapid geopolitical change, we recommend all our clients a strong focus on continuous market monitoring. In order to provide such a service, we have developed what we call a retainer service on all the markets we cover:

  1. An in-person presentation of ViaMar AS's Base Case
    • ViaMar develops our own Base Case, the forecast of the most likely future market developments – in our opinion
  2. On site presentation and discussion
    • It is important with a personal presence, with person-to-person communication of our Base Case and assumptions
    • Allowing our clients to discuss with us any aspect of our analysis, no questions are left unchecked – and no extra costs incurred
  3. Risk evaluation – Client alternative scenario choice
    • There are always alternative developments to key inputs, such alternatives need exploring – our opinion may not be your opinion
    • Our clients may change any factor and assumption, and we will calculate their effects on the forecast
  4. The Decision
    • Through presentation, alternative scenarios and – even more important – collective discussion, establish a firm basis for resolved decisions.

ViaMar AS is an independent shipping market analyst, comprising of three analysts with over 60 years combined experience in shipping. Our analysts have broad industry experiences, including commercial management as ship-owners at a senior management level, experience in ship brokerage, and long careers as shipping market analysts. We work as a close and independent advisor for a growing number of clients. ViaMar AS's sole commercial activity is the production of analytical reports, data and research support in a close and confidential manner. We function as an out-of-house analyst for ship-owners, traders, charterers and financial institutions Still we are at a position to offer our services at a fee less than hiring a comparable in-house analyst.
