What Xclusiv Shipbrokers Inc. does

Xclusiv Shipbrokers Inc. is a privately held ship brokerage firm founded in November 2017 and headquartered in Neo Psychiko, Athens, Greece. It serves commercial vessel owners, operators, banks and financial institutions with a three-desk service model: Assets (Sale & Purchase of second-hand vessels and newbuilding contracting), Projects & Finance (sale-and-leaseback, sales coupled with long-term employment, and structured project financing), and Market Intelligence & Valuations (in-house research, ad-hoc reports and asset valuations, including panel-broker mandates for major banks). The firm monetises through commission-based transaction fees on completed S&P, newbuilding and project mandates rather than subscriptions or retainers, and operates a sales-led, consultative GTM anchored on long-standing international relationships with shipbuilders, trading houses and financing counterparties.

The company is staffed by 12 professionals (11 named deal-makers plus an office admin) with stated collective experience of more than 150 years across shipping and financial markets. Its technology stack is not publicly disclosed; the firm operates as a traditional relationship-driven brokerage with an in-house research function rather than a platform or software product. Distribution is direct: enterprise client engagement, network referrals and industry reputation, with brand visibility supported by the 2019 Broker of the Year award at the Lloyds List Greek Shipping Awards and a stated 200+ completed S&P and project mandates within the first five years of operation.

Xclusiv generates revenue entirely on a transactional basis, with income recognised on successful completion of vessel sales, purchases, newbuildings and project financing arrangements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured deal-by-deal. The customer base is split between shipping companies and vessel owners (primary) and banks and financial institutions (secondary, served via valuations and panel-broker work). No institutional funding, parent company or M&A activity is disclosed; ownership appears concentrated with the founding team. No app, API or software product surface exists — the offering is a professional services engagement.
