Desks

Four desks, one balance sheet of judgement.

Legacy owners

We own and operate vessels, and have done so over a sustained period across global trades. Ownership is the foundation the rest of the business is built on.

Fleet ownership: Holding vessels directly and through special-purpose companies, with full accountability for their condition and employment.
Operation: Directing the ship's trading pattern, port rotation and day-to-day voyage decisions in the owner's interest.
Asset stewardship: Oversight of technical managers, class and statutory status, so the ship keeps its value and its charterer acceptance.
Sale and purchase: Acquisition and disposal of tonnage, timed against the market and the fleet's needs.

Commercial managers

Commercial management for our own ships and for owners who want an operator's eye on their earnings.

Employment strategy: Choosing between spot, period and contract cover based on the market, the ship and the owner's appetite for risk.
Voyage execution: Instructions, nominations, agency appointments and day-by-day follow-through until the cargo is delivered.
Voyage economics: Pre-fixture estimates, post-voyage results and the variance between them, reported to the owner.
Claims and recoveries: Demurrage, deviation and cargo claims pursued or defended with full documentation.
Invoicing and collection: Freight and hire billed promptly and followed up until paid.

Chartering desk

A desk that works the market daily on both sides — finding cargo for ships and ships for cargo.

Owner-side chartering: Marketing open tonnage and negotiating time and voyage fixtures that suit the vessel's position and specification.
Charterer-side chartering: Sourcing suitable, acceptable tonnage for cargo interests and negotiating terms that protect them.
Contracts of affreightment: Structuring multi-cargo commitments that give both sides predictability.
Charter-party drafting: Review of terms and clauses before they are agreed, not after a dispute arises.
Market intelligence: Position lists, cargo circulars and rate views that inform every other desk.

Capital management & deployment

Putting capital into ships and maritime businesses — and looking after it until it comes back.

Origination: Identifying vessel acquisitions and maritime opportunities worth committing capital to.
Structuring: Ownership vehicles, joint ventures, leasing and charter-backed arrangements designed around the asset's cash flow.
Co-investment: Opportunities for partners to invest alongside Riysh's own capital on aligned terms.
Asset management: Monitoring employment, condition and value through the holding period, with regular reporting to capital partners.
Exit: Planning and executing sale, refinancing or redelivery at the point that best serves the investment.

Tonnage to place, cargo to move, or capital to put to work?
