Welcome to Oil and Gas Investments
Some oil and gas fields are many thousands of kilometres from the places where the oil and gas are needed. At such distances, transport by sea may be the only practical option.
The giant oil fields of the Middle East, for example, are far from the main centres of consumption in North America, Europe and Asia. Much of this oil is moved in very large crude carriers, ships capable of carrying 300,000 tonnes or more of crude oil.
We transport our products across oceans, around coastlines and along waterways using both -owned and chartered vessels.
Our shipping division provides the logistics to move ’s oil and gas cargoes to market as well as marine assurance on everything that floats in the group.
The shipping fleet includes tankers specifically designed to transport crude oil, refined products or liquid natural gas.
It was formed in 1915 to carry products for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, the forerunner of . Shipping operates an international fleet of crude oil tankers, product tankers and LNG (liquefied natural gas) carriers, transporting these energy products all over the world. Our ships are crewed by around 2,300 seafarers, supported by close to 600 on shore staff and lead the industry in terms of health and safety performance.
