Petroleum Shipping and Logistics
Worldwide movement of refined products and crude on owned and chartered tonnage.
What does petroleum shipping involve?
Petroleum shipping is the sea transport of crude oil and refined products by tanker from a load port to a discharge port. Beyond the freight itself it covers vessel selection and vetting, the charter party, laytime and demurrage, cargo documents such as bills of lading, and coordination with the terminal at each end.
The Jansma approach to global shipping
Our shipping desk is physically co-located with our storage and chartering teams in Rotterdam. That means the freight leg of your cargo is never priced or operated in isolation. It's always evaluated as part of the delivered cost, with full visibility on port stays, demurrage and pumping rates.
