GSC was formed to handle the shipping needs of smaller, still developing nations who cannot yet build their own fleets. We offer a varity of services including:
-Container ships
-Oil Tankers
-Bulk Carriers
-Auto carriers

Our services are available to any nation and/or company in need of mass cargo transportation.

All our our vessels are built by the Delkorian Iron Works.

Contracts are negotiable, and can be terminated at any time, with no penelties except for the cost in fuel used on any ships still in transit with your cargo.

We use the following classes of ships:

Dear Sir,

Barronian Anbaric Works are a multinational energy generation company, specialising in the nuclear and renewable energy aspects of generation.

We are accustomed at this point to transporting large volumes of fuels, from radioactive to oil to lignite. Over time, our fleet has become less and less capable, and we now look to contract out this work while they are replenished. Normally, this is a process of some 5 or 6 years, however, due to a planned (and rather unfortunately-timed) governmental structure adaptation, this will now take 10-15 years.

We would like oil tankers and bulk goods ships, however we would like a list of the numbers your company owns before requesting a number of them and receiving a quote.

Regards,

Philippa Crowther

We can provide up to four Mor'indor-class tankers and 6 Moria-class bulkers. Due to the massive size of these vessels, they should more than meet your requirements, and can be dispatched right away.

(OOC: based on RL info. Mor'indor-class is the largest ship ever built in RL)

Dear Sir,

These will be ideal for immediate shipping of raw material to the homeland and her colonies.

We thank you for your business with us.

Regards,

Philippa Crowther

Thank you for your business! All ten vessels will be dispatched right away.

TO: Gondor Shipping Corporation

We see that you are selling the use of numerous ships for international shipping transportation and would like to make a business proposal.

You see Montana Incorporated does a lot of high price shipping around the world, mainly pharmaceuticals but other valuables as well. For this we have been using the Assurance Class Freighter (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=548769&highlight=montana). It is for lack of better words an armed freighter for dangerous areas. We would like to do a joint shipping system which allows you the use of many of our Assurance class ships when you need to.

Thank you
Antonio Montana CEO

To: Montana Inc.
From: GSC
Your proposal for a joint-shipping system is intersting. Two things would need to be clarified:
1st. How many Assurance-class ships are you willing to contribute to this exchange
2ns. Which of our ships do you require and in what numbers?

Dear Gondor Shipping CEO,

We wish to hire your firm to bring supplies from Redemption, Blackhelm Confederacy, to our military base at Vick, Kamasha. We estimate you will be needed to ferry roughly 800 tons of supplies per year. We will pay well.

Thank You,
Claudius Griffincrest, CEO, Griffincrest Oil Incorporated

FROM: Montanan Shipping
TO:GSC

We are expanding the oil markets in the area commonly referred to as Venezuela and need about 100 Mor'indor-class tankers to complete the shipping just for inner Mokastana alone, can i assume that these fit Panamax standards? IF so then we would also like to borrow another 3 Gammin-class and 3 Moria-class due to rapid Montana Inc expansion. As for the Assurance class, you can have as many as you would like.

Thank you

We would be happy to provide shipment of your cargo. If you supplies are loaded into containers or flat pallets, we can provide a single Gammin-class container ship for your transport requirements.

From: Colstream Oil.

Colstream Oil wishes to move 1 Million Barrels of Bio Fuel to be sent from the Depot in Ashland, Republic Of Colstream to Thive City, Colstream Republic Of Thive. We wish to hire your firm in a 4 Million Colstream Pounds Contract to ship this cargo this fuel once a week for 2 Years ferrying 728 Million Barrels during the contract.

To: Colstream Oil.
Subject: Shipping Contract
Message:
To fit your requirements as stated, two vessels would be needed, one would sail each week while the other returns from a run. However, as our Mor'indor-class tankers are capable of transporting 4 million barrels of oil per load, is there a possibility of transporting 2 million barrels per shipment, and sailing every two weeks? This would only require a single vessel, and make better use of its storage capabilities. If not, we will have a pair of smaller tankers transfered from military duty to fit your needs.

The arrangement you propose would be better. Thank you for letting us use your company. We have more contracts ending with other compnaies which we may transfer these to your company. We will definately do business in the future.

We pleased that you have chosen us for your shipping needs. The tanker D.S. En'ethan has been assigned to your account, and will put to sea right away.

(OOC: TO ALL: feel free to mention my ships sailing in your waters during RP's. Also, please remember to take their size into account when requesting service, as they are unable to enter shallow-water ports.)

Our ships do not fit to the Panamax standard. They are unable to enter any existing lock systems. Also, we only have 14 Mor'indor-class tankers in service, with some of those already serving other accounts. While more are under construction, build times are slow as we only have two drydocks large enough to build them. However, four more docks will be built as part of a new shipyard in Neo-Ixania. Once these are operational, more vessels will be built.

(OOC: Do you really need 100 of them? These are the biggest in the world. As to their size,
Please note the size and drafts of these ships, and compare them to your available harbors BEFORE requesting service. (OOC: the tanker I have listed cannot pass though the English Channel when fully loaded!)
Please TeleGram me with any OOC questions.)

FROM: Montana Shipping
Subject: Freighters

If you would like to construct a dry dock in Mokastana we would be more then willing to host and work with you on the building. As for the order there was an error with the orders where a paper pusher mixed up to orders. You can imagine the look on my Captain's face when he got three barrels of oil and three crates of food. Needless to say that person no longer works for Montana Inc.

The order has been change and re-sent out.

Thank you for your understanding
