Only Charter · A Shackleton’s Way Company

Ship Chartering

Access to tonnage in one of the most logistically demanding regions in the world. Only Charter arranges vessels for Antarctic resupply, scientific campaigns, cargo movements across the Strait and project work in Chilean Patagonia.

Talk to our team

Chartering in Chilean Patagonia and the Antarctic gateway is not the same exercise as chartering anywhere else — weather windows, pilotage, remote discharge points and short seasons all shape what tonnage is actually workable. Only Charter brings the market knowledge that comes from working these waters every season, not brokering them from a distance, and arranges the chartering alongside provisioning, crew and port agency services on the ground.

Market knowledge from working these waters. Chartering advisory and arrangements built on operating here every season — not on a desk in another city.
