Oil tankers and gas carriers carry large volume of bulk cargo, which not necessarily have to be unloaded in one terminal or port. Transhipment from vessel to smaller or bigger tankers safes extra cargo handling which saves time and therefore is a economically and logistically favourable option over using terminals. We have experience in STS operations in port and outside 12 mile zones. We handle ship-to-barge or barge-to-ship operations to ensure our clients all operations are performed in a secure and safe way.
Transoil offers a wide range of marine equipment and services for all ship to ship (STS) transfers of bulk liquids between all types of vessels around the world.

STS refers to transferring a ship’s cargo (oil or gas) from a merchant tanker or bulk carrier to a tanker or vessel positioned alongside. The STS operation can be performed either as the ships are at anchor or underway. In any case it requires proper conditions, the right equipment, highly experienced staff and official permission to perform such an operation.
