“I believe that one of, if not the best buyers I have dealt with over many years are NKD Maritime Ltd. In all my sales to NKD, they have been 100 percent reliable and always performed their side of any contract, even if there is a market collapse.They are very helpful and cooperative and often help with local arrangements with agents and import authorities so that vessels complete clearance formalities and deliver quickly saving owners time and money. Their partners in Alang operate the greenest yards and are frequently selected by owners of tonnage requiring the greenest possible recycling procedure. NKD also operate on a strict confidentiality basis with sales generally not becoming known to the market until after vessels have arrived at the delivery yard.”

“We needed to sell one of our older car carriers and our brokers introduced us to NKD Maritime. We sold the vessel to them and were very satisfied with the excellent performance of NKD from start to finish. So much so, that a short time later when we had another PCC to sell, we decided to offer it exclusively to NKD. This second vessel was concluded in the same trouble-free way as the first, and consequently when we had a third PCC to sell, it was an obvious choice to go to NKD again! The sale and purchase of all three ships was handled smoothly, efficiently, and with the utmost professionalism. It was a pleasure to deal with NKD Maritime.”

“In the summer of 2011 we set about finding a reliable counterpart to assist with scrapping the 1988 built capesize MV “DIAS” under our management. After a period of market research, we decided to enter into private negotiations with NKD which I am pleased to say resulted in the successful sale and delivery of the vessel for demolition in India. Throughout the process we were impressed with the thoroughness and professionalism of the individuals involved and especially the assistance offered over and above the terms of the contract which was only possible through the excellent dialogue that had been established. Given this favourable experience we would have no hesitation in co-operating with NKD in the future.”
