Within the NBMS you will also find brokers active with the buying and selling of sea- going vessels, such as fishing vessels and dredgers. In this professional area specialized knowledge of those type of ships including the value is essential. These ships are used as floating companies, which means that the NBMS broker should also have specialized knowledge of the important aspects of the company. The valuation of floating companies is done by looking at the carrying capacity, tonnage, the development of cargo prices and the developments on the global market for transport. An important part of the work of this specialized NBMS broker consists of the investigation and coordination of all the relevant documents, certificates, human resources and the required ships classifications. The NBMS broker also mediates regarding financial applications.
