Commercial Vessel Sale & Purchase Brokerage & Registry Solutions
Samer & Misa Sh.p.k. serves as the premier gateway for maritime asset transactions in the Southern Adriatic and Ionian Seas. Representing global shipowners, regional operators, and maritime investors, we deliver expert commercial brokerage services for buying, selling, and chartering commercial merchant vessels, dry-bulk carriers, tugboats, fishing fleets, and specialized port workboats. Leveraging our esteemed appointment as the exclusive national Lloyd’s Agent, we combine commercial brokerage expertise with rigorous technical intelligence, providing buyers with highly objective pre-purchase survey audits and independent market valuations to safeguard capital investments.
Our specialized sale and purchase (S&P) division manages the complete transaction pipeline with absolute legal and operational compliance. Backed by our comprehensive ITIC professional liability insurance, we coordinate contract negotiations (utilizing standard Norwegian Saleform frameworks), facilitate secure escrow structures, and manage the complex bureaucracy of maritime registries. From handling official flag state deletions and mortgage recordings with the Albanian Maritime Administration (Harbor Masters) to coordinating physical vessel deliveries, dockyard transfers, and sea trials at major regional shipyards, we ensure a seamless transfer of clean title.

FAQs
Buying a vessel is a high-risk capital investment. Because our in-house technical team operates under the global standards of the Lloyd's Agency network, we provide buyers with an exceptionally rigorous, completely unbiased assessment of the vessel's true physical state. We audit structural integrity, inspect auxiliary machineries, verify vessel classification records, and spot hidden deficiencies, giving you the hard data needed to negotiate fair asset pricing or identify red flags before signing.
Yes. The process of registering commercial tonnage or commercial yachts under the Albanian Flag requires precise coordination with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy and local Harbor Masters. We manage the entire legal pipeline—including preparing official translations of bills of sale, verifying deletion certificates from previous registries, handling mortgage recordings, and securing temporary navigating permits to ensure your vessel is fully certified and legally compliant.
We structure all transactions under internationally recognized maritime frameworks, primarily utilizing the standard Norwegian Saleform (NSF) or Bimco Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) templates. To guarantee absolute security, all funds, deposits, and transaction balances are handled through strictly vetted commercial bank escrows and monitored in complete compliance with international anti-money laundering (AML) laws and our own ITIC professional guidelines.

Yes. In addition to commercial cargo ships and utility workboats, we have a dedicated luxury yacht registry and sales desk. We assist private owners, yacht management firms, and luxury charter companies in purchasing vessels, handling customs clearing and importation taxes (VAT protocols) in Albania, and securing private pleasure craft registries or commercial chartering licenses for the Albanian Riviera.
