Quincannon Associates’ Sale and Purchase Services far exceed the normal boundaries of ship brokerage. Our hands-on approach, coupled with expert market knowledge and technical expertise, make us a unique and preferred partner. 

In the initial phase of a project we prefer to analyze the buy, build, or bareboat options to ensure we’re plotting the correct course. In the second phase, we analyze the past, present and forward shipping markets to develop accurate revenue models and sensitivity analysis. We also provide accurate price guidance based on in-depth analysis of comparable transactions, a comprehensive technical evaluation of the prospective ship, and an accurate budget for maintenance costs. We work closely with the world’s premiere inspection companies and can arrange and attend vessel inspections. Our brokers have sailed as Chief Engineers and worked ashore as Marine Superintendents and Fleet Managers. 

We take a leading role during the negotiation process to ensure the purchase price is the most competitive possible and attend the vessel closing and delivery to ensure complete success. We work closely with the premiere escrow agents in the world for closing support and the premiere technical managers for operational support.
