Tankers Ship-to-ship Lightering Support

Industry best practices are strictly followed - local statutory law compliance

Tankers Ship-to-ship (STS) Transfer / Lightering is a highly intensive operation, often taking place in remote areas, so reliability of local service provider is paramount. Over the years with its rich experience of the region, Transk01 Maritime Services has emerged as a first Ships Agency of choice for numerous Gas/Liquid Tankers principals around the globe for performing STS / Lightering operation.

A successful Gas or Liquid Bulk STS Transfer / Lightering operation starts with a full review of the shipping and logistics challenge, which allows Tranks01 Maritime Services to determine the optimal overall solution. Our service includes support from the quick pre-feasibility study phase (local regulations guidance, approved / suitable / designated locations in Indonesia, local agency and husbandry, logistics arrangement – fenders, hose, marine parts, crew matters, visitor, launch boat, etc) through to the completion of the project.

We believe that we outperform other tanker agency companies in every way: by our responsive and flexible services, through scale and regional coverage; through our reputation for operational excellence; in our strict compliance with health and safety requirements; by the well-trained and experienced teams that operate our network.
