We broker deals for the huge vessels that carry crude or petroleum products across the world. As truly global brokers, we handle more deep sea business than any other company. Our experienced teams have long-standing and close working relationships with all the major owners and charterers.

Petroleum products power our vehicles and planes, heat our homes, run our factories, and form the basis for the plastics that go into a vast range of consumer and industrial products.

Our worldwide team delivers best-in-class performance in all three major deep sea markets - crude oil, 'clean' and 'dirty' petroleum products. We facilitate deals between oil companies, traders and shipowners, and negotiate for cargoes to be transported between producers and refiners. The size of tankers we deal with ranges from 20,000 dwt ships carrying refined petroleum products (including naphtha, jet fuel, gasoline, gasoil and fuel oil) to crude oil tankers in excess of 300,000 dwt. On a day-to-day basis our team handles all aspects of spot chartering and longer-period timecharters as well as Contracts of Affreightment (CoAs) and individual project consultancy.

We provide a global service whilst maintaining personal relationships at a local level through six offices in the Middle East, Europe, the USA, India and the Far East.

Our scale and geographical spread means that we cover every major crude oil loading area, including the Arabian Gulf, West Africa, Mediterranean/Black Sea, Baltic and North Sea, Caribbean and United States West Coast and South America - delivering to refineries worldwide. We are supported by a team of experienced operations professionals which provides our clients with a comprehensive service based on experience and knowledge. This begins from the moment a deal is concluded and often continues far beyond the point at which the vessel is discharged, assisting in the settlement of demurrage and other claims.

Knowledge, expertise and industry-leading business information - such as 'The Tanker Register' produced by our colleagues in Research - form the backbone of our capability. Research data is combined with our market intelligence by dedicated tanker analysts in order to support our clients' decision-making processes.
