Responding to increased demand from oil companies and tanker owners for professional assistance during critical operational phases, a comprehensive range of specialised services has been developed to cover all aspects of crude oil and oil products shipment and transfer.
The Melbourne Marine team of professional cargo superintendents provides a range of services worldwide, covering all charter party and cargo ownership issues, supervision of cargo transfer between terminal and vessel and a range of ship-to-ship transfer operations.
Importantly, the comprehensive service includes identification and supply of the ancillary equipment and third-party assistance required to complete the operation - basic requirements which, if overlooked, could have serious financial implications.
