What NordStep handles
Dry cargo chartering
Bulk carriers from handysize to capesize. Voyage and time charter fixtures across the Atlantic and Pacific basins, negotiated clause by clause.
Tanker chartering
Clean and dirty petroleum, chemical and gas tonnage. Spot and period business for owners and charterers alike.
Sale & purchase
Newbuilding, secondhand and demolition transactions — valuation, negotiation and coordination of inspections through to closing.
Project & specialised cargo
Breakbulk, heavy-lift and out-of-gauge cargo requiring tailored tonnage, routing and stowage planning.
Market advisory
Freight market analysis and rate benchmarking to support owners' and charterers' decisions, drawn from daily desk activity.
Espen Kolstad Stephensen
Founder & ShipbrokerEspen founded NordStep Shipping in 2026 to give owners and charterers a direct, senior line into the market — one broker across the full lifecycle of a fixture, from first indication to final laytime statement.
With desks in Oslo and Athens, NordStep works with shipowners and charterers across international dry bulk, tanker and S&P markets — small enough to answer the phone personally, connected enough to move a fixture.
