Fuel and Cargo Handling

  • Product tankers carry diesel (AGO), petrol (PMS), kerosene and jet fuel in segregated tanks, and the tank coating and cargo pumps decide which grades the vessel can take
  • Cargo normally goes ashore to onshore depots and jetties. Some product imports are first discharged by ship-to-ship transfer at an offshore anchorage
  • Gas carriers for LPG and LNG are a different vessel type with different tanks and surveys, so say so if your cargo is gas

How a Tanker Sale Runs in Port Harcourt

  • Port Harcourt and the nearby Onne and Bonny terminals handle much of the country's oil and gas marine traffic, so buyers here are usually tanker operators, product marketers and marine service companies.
  • A Memorandum of Agreement on a standard form such as the Norwegian Saleform 2012, with the deposit held by a neutral escrow agent
  • Delivery with class and statutory certificates in force, a bill of sale and a deletion certificate from the previous flag
  • Registration under the buyer's flag, then hull and machinery and P&I insurance before the vessel trades

Flag, Class and Trading Plan

  • Decide early where the vessel will trade, because that shapes the flag, registration and crewing you need

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 40KMT mean for a tanker?

KMT stands for thousand metric tonnes, and it refers to deadweight, the total weight the ship can carry including cargo, fuel, water and stores. A 40KMT tanker carries about 40,000 tonnes of deadweight.

How much does a 40KMT tanker cost?

Which fuels can a product tanker carry?

Typically diesel (AGO), petrol (PMS), kerosene and jet fuel, in separate tanks. The coating, pumps and cleaning history decide which grades a particular vessel can take, so check them for your cargo. LPG and LNG need a gas carrier.
