Icon Gulf Trading, the Shipping Arm of Dynamic Mining, and GeoServe Celebrate One-Year Milestone in Voyage Management Collaboration
DUBAI, UAE, July 14 2025 – A strategic collaboration between Icon Gulf Trading DMCC (part of the Dynamic Group) and GeoServe Energy Transport DMCC has enabled the successful shipment of bauxite from Guinea over the past 12 months. During this period, 12 cargo shipments, moving approximately 2 million tons of bauxite, have been completed.
Icon Gulf Trading appointed GeoServe to manage end-to-end shipping operations, through its Commercial Voyage Management as a Service (CVMaaS) covering areas such as chartering, voyage execution, laytime calculations, port disbursements, regulatory compliance, and financial reporting.
This collaboration has brought a high degree of transparency and operational discipline to the shipping process for Icon Gulf Trading, effectively optimizing the bauxite shipping value chain, thereby reinforcing Icon Gulf Trading’s ability to meet customer demand across global markets.
GeoServe CVMaaS is a complete pre- and post-fixture offering. This turnkey solution combines skilled professionals, proven processes, and a robust digital ecosystem into one cohesive service allowing traders and operators to focus on their core business and expansion strategies.
“Appointed as our shipping extended arm, GeoServe has introduced a layer of operational transparency and professionalism that is essential in today’s complex maritime environment. The journey has just begun, as Icon Gulf intends to ramp up exports to 10-12 million tons of cargo per annum in a phased manner over the next two years, thereby chartering over 55 Capesize/Newcastlemax vessels per annum.” commented Rajesh Sawana, Deputy General Manager at Icon Gulf Trading.
“We are proud of what we have accomplished together over the past year. Through this engagement, we have seen how a simple and scalable approach to voyage management can deliver real impact,” said Alok Srivastava, Head of Shipping at GeoServe. “Despite disruptions and shifting market dynamics, our shared commitment to reliability, regulatory alignment, and long-term sustainability has remained unwavering. By offering an integrated ecosystem of solutions, we look forward to continuing to deliver measurable value to Icon Gulf Trading and the wider supply chain,” adds Alok.
The collaboration now enters its second year. Icon Gulf and GeoServe continue to deliver innovative solutions tailored to the evolving dynamics of global bulk commodity trade.
