Company information
APS Navicap LLC is a Dubai-based commercial shipping and chartering management house serving international tanker, gas and dry cargo markets. The company says it has operated since 2020 and organizes its work around three fleet segments: oil tankers, LPG and gas carriers, and dry cargo vessels. Its stated clients and counterparts include shipowners, charterers, oil and energy companies, LPG producers, petrochemical companies, commodity traders and refiners. From its Jumeirah Lakes Towers office, APS offers chartering, commercial representation, sale-and-purchase advisory, and related post-fixture support.
A specialist commercial structure
APS describes its business as a focused commercial and chartering operation rather than a single-vessel or single-cargo service. Its divisions work across tanker, gas and dry cargo segments, with market information and commercial decision-making serving the different desks. The company reports an international market focus and says its activity began in 2020. Its published overview identifies the types of counterparties it works with, including shipowners and cargo interests across energy, petrochemicals, commodities and dry bulk.
The company also describes research activity involving freight rates, available tonnage and market fundamentals. This information is presented as an input to its chartering and sale-and-purchase work; it is not a claim that every market opportunity or vessel will be suitable for every enquiry.
Chartering across three vessel segments
The tanker desk handles spot, time-charter and contract-of-affreightment arrangements for oil, product and chemical tankers, with the company listing vessel sizes from Handysize through VLCC. For dry cargo, its stated work includes spot fixtures, contracts of affreightment, time charters and bareboat charters, with tonnage from Handysize to Capesize.
The gas desk focuses on LPG and gas carriers, including petrochemical and ethylene gas tonnage. APS describes spot and period chartering from Small Gas Carriers through VLGCs, and identifies propane, butane, LPG, ethylene and other petrochemical gas trades. The combination of distinct desks gives cargo interests and vessel providers a route to make enquiries according to vessel segment and employment type.
Commercial representation and transaction advice
For owners seeking commercial representation, APS says it markets tonnage, develops employment strategies, negotiates freight and hire, and assesses voyage economics. Its stated purpose is to support vessel employment and commercial performance; the published material does not describe technical ship management, crew services or vessel ownership as part of this offer.
The company also provides sale-and-purchase and corporate advisory for tanker, gas carrier and dry cargo assets. Its overview names acquisition and disposal advice, valuation and negotiation support, including transactions that may be on or off market. After a fixture, the company says it can coordinate demurrage, laytime and claims matters for owners and charterers. These services address different stages of a commercial relationship: evaluating an asset, arranging employment and handling specified post-fixture issues.
Dubai office and international market focus
APS identifies its hub at 2504, Preatoni Tower, Cluster L, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This establishes the company’s stated local office; its described commercial activity, by contrast, concerns international tanker, gas and dry cargo markets. The global market reach belongs to the company’s stated business scope and should not be read as a separate local office network or as evidence of a particular vessel’s availability.
The published company material also reports more than 16 ships under commercial and chartering management. This is a company-reported figure, not a guarantee of current availability, capacity or a match for a particular cargo. Enquiries can be directed to the general address or to the published commercial and chartering contact.
Preparing a useful enquiry
Shipowners can make an initial enquiry with the vessel’s segment, principal particulars, current employment and preferred trading or chartering arrangement. Cargo interests can help the relevant desk assess a request by setting out cargo type, quantity, loading and discharge requirements, timing and preferred charter form. These are practical details to prepare, not a promise that a vessel, fixture or transaction will be available.
For an asset transaction, prospective buyers or sellers may wish to identify the vessel class, whether they are considering acquisition or disposal, and the scope of advice required. The website lists contact@aps.ae for general enquiries, chart@aps.ae for commercial and chartering matters, and sandp@aps.ae for sale-and-purchase enquiries.
