Luis Urdaneta Eraso

As a Partner & CEO at Alfa Maritima International Inc., I provide reliable and efficient maritime transportation services for dry bulk commodities, such as grains, cement, fertilizers, and alum. With over 30 years of experience in chartering bulk carriers, I have developed a strong network of shipowners, industrial allies, and customers, and a deep knowledge of the market trends, supply chain operations, and charter party contracts. My mission is to deliver value-added solutions, quality, and security for our clients' cargo programs, ensuring timely and cost-effective shipments, self-loading and self-discharge operations, and coordination of the different links of the supply chain. I have successfully negotiated and executed multiple chartering contracts, ranging from voyage charter, contract of affreightment, time charter, for various dry bulk commodities, such as grains and cereals, bauxite, iron ore, clinker, cement, and fertilizers. I am passionate about finding new business niches, developing long-lasting business alliances, and enhancing the economy of scale for our industrial partners.
