Difference:
1, there are differences in ship operation and management:
The shipowner is the owner or investor of the ship and the owner of the property. But not necessarily involved in the operation and management of ships. Ship management companies and brokerage companies (intermediary companies) participate in the management of ships.
2. Different functions:
Ship management company is a company with professional management knowledge and relevant qualifications. Entrusted by the shipowner, carry out safety management on the entrusted ship and collect management fees from the entrusting party.

This is the party who builds a bridge between the shipowner and the charterer and urges the shipowner and the charterer to reach a charter party, that is, the broker.
