Founded in 2009, Acta Shipping L.L.C. was established to provide comprehensive logistical solutions to independent traders of crude oil and refined petroleum products. From its inception, the company specialized in designing and managing end-to-end supply chains—from inland refineries to international ports of destination.
Our operations involved the timely and efficient transportation of heavy fuel oil (HFO) via rail and truck to seaports, followed by shipment aboard chartered tankers for delivery under CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) terms. Acta Shipping was responsible for coordinating all logistical elements of this complex process, including inland transportation, stevedoring, cargo surveys at every point of custody transfer, shipping documentation, cargo insurance, and the chartering and operation of suitable tankers. These services ensured the contractual quality and quantity of cargo and were essential for our clients to capitalize on geographic arbitrage opportunities.
Over the years, we have supported a global customer base, including commodity traders and bunkering companies, and have successfully completed thousands of deliveries involving refined oil products, petrochemicals, and agricultural commodities.
Today, Acta Shipping continues to specialize in traditional chartering and ship operations. As some of our longstanding clients adapt to evolving market dynamics—often sourcing products from more remote regions—they have made strategic investments in their own fleets. Owing to the trust and strong relationships we have cultivated, these clients have turned to Acta Shipping to act as their advisor and agent in sourcing and acquiring appropriate vessels for their operational needs.
In response to market opportunities and growing demand, Acta Shipping has also expanded into the dry bulk sector. We now offer full commercial management services for bulk carriers, including chartering, voyage planning, freight negotiations, and performance monitoring. Our entry into dry bulk shipping reflects our commitment to evolving with our clients’ needs and providing comprehensive, market-responsive maritime solutions across multiple commodity sectors.
