Iván García Suárez
CEO / Founder
His career spans cargo operations at sea, port agency work and formal nautical engineering training in A Coruña — providing practical understanding of how vessels, cargoes and ports interact in real operations.
Deep Draft Chartering is built by maritime professionals who understand vessel operations, cargo handling, port constraints and the pressure of laytime — because they have lived it at sea.
Based in A Coruña, the firm provides ship agency and port call support as its primary service, complemented by chartering and sale & purchase capabilities across oil/product and general cargo markets.
The practice is deliberately focused — offering partner-level attention, operational judgement and discreet commercial support rather than the volume-driven approach of larger organisations.
Our focus
Principles
Four principles guide every engagement — from the first port call enquiry to fixture completion.
Our support is informed by time at sea — not only market data. We understand how cargoes behave, how vessels operate and what matters in port.
Sensitive enquiries, confidential fixtures and off-market mandates are handled with strict confidentiality. Information is managed deliberately.
We focus on getting operations moving — coordinating with terminals, authorities, service providers and principals with clarity and follow-through.
Maritime business is built on trust. We invest in long-term relationships with shipowners, operators, charterers and service partners who value reliable support.
