Our Gulf Coast Transit operation was designed to meet the high-capacity throughput requirements of several prominent onshore refineries. To achieve this, Chembulk Tankers deployed a dedicated fleet of double-hulled VLCCs to conduct seamless ship-to-ship (STS) transfers and direct port discharges. The operation required precise scheduling to align vessel arrivals with the strict intake schedules of the receiving tank farms, preventing any operational bottlenecks or costly demurrage.

Advanced telemetry and automated pumping systems were utilized across the fleet to maintain high flow rates during discharge, drastically reducing turnaround times at port. Furthermore, continuous environmental monitoring was employed throughout the voyage, ensuring absolute compliance with all regional and international maritime regulations. The operation proved highly successful, maintaining an uninterrupted supply chain of raw energy resources into the US market.
