Ship Sale & Purchase Brokerage in Vietnam
SVC Marine provides ship sale and purchase brokerage support for shipowners, vessel buyers, investors and maritime operators looking to buy or sell commercial vessels in Vietnam and international markets.
Our brokerage work goes beyond introducing buyer and seller. We support vessel sourcing, buyer requirement screening, technical review, onboard inspection, price and condition assessment, MOA coordination, delivery planning, drydock preparation and local port or yard support.
Ship Brokerage with Technical and Operational Execution
Buying or selling a vessel is not only a commercial negotiation. A successful transaction requires technical understanding, document review, price discipline, condition assessment, repair risk awareness, delivery coordination and clear communication between buyer, seller, broker, class, flag, crew, port and yard parties.
SVC Marine supports ship sale and purchase transactions with a practical shipbroker model. We combine market sourcing, buyer screening, technical inspection, owner-side coordination, drydock and repair planning, and delivery follow-up.
This approach is useful for buyers who need more than a vessel list and sellers who need a broker capable of handling technical, operational and closing-related issues until delivery.
Our Ship Sale & Purchase Brokerage Scope
Vessel Sourcing
Searching for suitable vessels based on buyer requirements, trading plan, vessel type, age, class, flag, size, machinery, cargo profile and budget.
Buyer Requirement Screening
Clarifying what the buyer really needs before wasting time on unsuitable tonnage, unrealistic price ideas or technically wrong vessels.
Seller Contact & Negotiation
Contacting owners, sellers, brokers or managers, collecting basic details, arranging discussion and supporting commercial negotiation.
Technical Inspection
Supporting onboard inspection, photo review, document check, machinery condition review, hull condition awareness and repair risk identification.
Price & Condition Assessment
Reviewing price against vessel age, condition, class status, repair requirements, market availability, delivery cost and trading readiness.
MOA & Delivery Coordination
Supporting transaction coordination, inspection follow-up, handover preparation, port formalities, crew change and vessel delivery planning.
Not Just a “Group Chat Broker”
Many ship brokerage transactions stop at introducing a buyer to a seller. In real vessel transactions, that is not enough. The buyer still needs to understand vessel condition, delivery risk, repair cost, class status, crew readiness, port formalities and practical takeover requirements.
SVC Marine’s strength is the ability to connect brokerage with technical inspection, drydock planning, repair coordination, owner’s representative support, local vendor coordination and delivery execution.
Our value is strongest when a buyer needs a practical team to move from vessel search to inspection, negotiation, closing and delivery.

Buyer-Side Support Before Vessel Purchase
Vessel buyers often face the highest risk before signing or closing. A vessel may look attractive on price but carry hidden repair cost, class findings, overdue certificates, machinery risk, trading restrictions, delivery complexity or unsuitable operating profile.
SVC Marine can support buyers with requirement clarification, vessel shortlisting, technical inspection, document review, pre-purchase condition assessment and repair planning before delivery.

Seller-Side Support for Vessel Disposal
For sellers, SVC Marine can assist with vessel marketing, buyer screening, information preparation, inspection coordination, negotiation support and transaction follow-up. A proper sale process helps reduce time waste from unqualified buyers and unclear commercial discussions.
We can support sellers by preparing vessel information for serious buyers, coordinating inspection requests, handling buyer questions and keeping the process focused on realistic closing.
MOA, Closing and Delivery Coordination
After commercial terms are agreed, many transactions still fail or become difficult because delivery items are not controlled properly. Vessel sale and purchase requires disciplined follow-up on documents, class status, inspection findings, port arrangements, crew matters, payment timing and handover procedure.
SVC Marine can support coordination during MOA discussion, inspection, deposit follow-up, closing preparation, delivery planning, crew change, port formalities, repair before delivery and post-delivery technical support.

Drydock and Repair Planning Before Delivery
Many second-hand vessels require repair, drydock, class follow-up or technical preparation before or shortly after delivery. SVC Marine can connect S&P brokerage with Vietnam drydock, repair, workshop, vendor and port support.
This helps buyers estimate repair exposure, plan delivery more realistically and avoid buying a vessel without understanding the technical work required to make it trade-ready.
