Tankers International Information

At Tankers International we operate the world’s largest pool of modern very large crude oil carriers (VLCCs). Specialists in VLCCs, we give shipowners a transparent and cost-effective solution to maximise earnings in the spot market through powerful economies of scale and unparalleled access to cargoes. For charterers we provide a fleet of modern VLCCs unmatched in quality, availability and flexibility. We are a relationship-driven business and are proud of the diverse and established network of chartering connections that we have built up since creating the first ever VLCC pool in 2000. We are known for the quality of our fleet; all members need to meet strict safety requirements to join the pool. Our pool welcomes shipowners large and small who want excellent commercial management of their assets. We act as their outsourced chartering department, focused on using our power and market intelligence to earn the highest financial return. We maximise cash flow during volatile market conditions and take advantage of market upsides. Owned and financially backed by some of the world’s leading shipowners, our independent and experienced management team operates the pool with the highest levels of safety, integrity, quality and security, and the latest innovations in reporting and carbon offsetting. We are different from other pools because we operate with a simple all-inclusive management fee, meaning no added commissions or unexpected costs. We trade all vessels on an equal basis and participating owners share all revenues earned based on a fair and transparent Pool Pointing system. Our team in our commercial offices in London, New York and Singapore is ready to support you 24/7. Tankers International. Strength. Integrity. Performance.
