Acta Shipping was created in 2009 for the purpose of providing comprehensive logistical services to independent oil and refined product traders. In the past, we established and managed for our clients the entire supply chain of oil products from inland refineries to the port of destination. The supply chain was designed to timely move HFO from the refineries via railroad and trucks to seaports, then aboard chartered tankers to the port of destination for a CIF sale. Acta Shipping arranged and coordinated inland transportation, stevedoring services for accumulation and loading the cargo aboard tankers in ports, cargo surveys at each change of custody along the chain to ensure maintenance of the contractual quantity and quality, proper shipping documentation, cargo insurance, chartering and operation of the suitable tankers. The customer would not be able to benefit from the geographic arbitrage without the services of Acta Shipping L.L.C.

The company provided this type of services to traders and several bunkering companies across the world. Since 2009, Acta Shipping successfully completed thousands of deliveries of refined oil products, petrochemicals, and agricultural products.

Our main focus remains on traditional chartering and ship operation activities. Some of our customers, in the process of adapting to the new market conditions and working with more remote suppliers, made a strategic decision to acquire their own ships. Because of the relationships and trust we built with them over the years, they engaged Acta Shipping as their agent in identifying and acquiring suitable tonnage.
