Our industry leading team focuses exclusively on the highly specialised demands of the seaborne transportation of petrochemical gases and coastal LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).

We have an expert understanding of the very specific requirements of this market sector, characterised as it is by a high turnover of global shipments in a range of specialist vessels: pressure, semi-refrigerated and ethylene from 1,500 to 23,000 cubic metres. The petrochemical gas trade consists primarily of shipments of ethylene, propylene, butadiene and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) all of which are used extensively as raw materials within the industrial production of a wide variety of plastics and synthetic rubber.

Working seamlessly, our teams in London and Oslo bring specialist knowledge and extensive experience to oil majors, petrochemical producers and traders alike. Our main business areas include: spot chartering for individual charters; term charters for both Contracts of Affreightment (CoAs) and short or long timecharters; and the sale and purchase of both secondhand vessels and the contracting of newbuildings.

Our clients benefit from our unique insight into the market.
