When Alpina Shipping Agencies ApS, Denmark established in 1984 its primary purpose was to provide chartering services to the shipping industry. We were soon thereafter appointed exclusive chartering agents for a few dry cargo ships which improved to a fleet of a dozen ships upto 120.000 dwt. This gave us the opportunity of discovering at first hand the pressures and responsibilities of running a shipping fleet. We believe that there are three basic but essential elements necessary for success: cost-effectiveness, efficiency and foresight. These considerations are ever present in our policy and decision-making process. Alpina Shipping Agencies ApS is not just another Ship Broker, but our activities go beyond that to offer full representation and protection of our principals' interests, close follow up prior and after the conclusion of a fixture, we assist with C/P interpretations, laytime calculations and resolution of eventual disputes. With other words: Full Service. Alpina Ship Management ApS was established to provide commercial ship management services to the smaller owner/investor who requires a bespoke service with high level of personal contact. In 1986 we were appointed exclusive brokers by Ideal Shipping Ltd and in 1988 by Tomini Shipping Company Ltd to cover their tonnage requirements and handle the commercial and financial management of their chartered and owned vessels. We have an extensive network of contacts in all markets which enables us to work vessels profittably and allows us to expedite vessels very efficiently and thus keep the operating costs at a minimum Tomini Trading SRL was established in 1999 to develope export of Roumanian metal scrap for melting, and now have their own scrap cutting plant, covered warehouses, gantry cranes, railway, loading berth and -facilities in Constanta port. The ships chartering and marketing/sales activites are handled by Alpina Shipping Agencies ApS, Denmark. Our activities are not confined to commercial ship management.
