About GCMA

GEO Chartering & Maritime Advisory LLC is an independent maritime services company based in Georgia, working at the point where international shipping meets the Georgian market.

We are the first company in Georgia to operate chartering, protective agency and independent advisory as one integrated practice. That combination is the point: the fixture, the port call and the risk behind both are handled by the same desk, with one line of accountability.

We are independent of any single port agent, terminal or trading house, which is precisely what lets us represent the principal's interest without conflict. We work in English and Georgian, with shipowners, charterers, traders and investors from the Black Sea region and beyond.

Your Needs. Our Solutions.

First of its kind in Georgia

Chartering, protective agency and advisory in one house — a structure that did not exist on the Georgian market before GCMA.

No conflict of interest

Independent of local agents and terminals, so the principal's interest is the only interest we represent.

Before the fixture

Due diligence on vessel, ownership and counterparty runs before the cargo is committed, not after the claim.

On the ground

Georgian port procedures, local partners and technical specialists, coordinated by people who work in these ports daily.
