OUR HISTORY
A foundation in logistics.
A future across the seas.
Since 2009, Acta Shipping has grown alongside the commodity traders and bunkering companies we serve.
FROM INLAND REFINERIES TO INTERNATIONAL PORTSESTABLISHED IN 2009
Making complex
supply chains work.
Acta Shipping L.L.C. was founded to provide comprehensive logistical services to independent traders of crude oil and refined petroleum products. Our work began with designing and managing the entire supply chain, from inland refineries to the port of destination.
We coordinated the movement of heavy fuel oil by rail and truck to seaports, followed by transport aboard chartered tankers for delivery under Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) terms.
Our responsibilities included inland transportation, stevedoring, cargo surveys at each transfer of custody, shipping documentation, cargo insurance, and the chartering and operation of suitable tankers. Coordinating these elements helped our clients maintain contractual cargo quality and quantity and take advantage of geographic arbitrage opportunities.
Since 2009, Acta Shipping has successfully completed thousands of deliveries of refined oil products, petrochemicals and agricultural commodities for customers around the world.
OUR PRESENT FOCUS
Evolving with our clients.
Traditional chartering and ship operations remain at the heart of our business. As longstanding clients adapt to changing markets and more remote sources of supply, some have chosen to invest in their own fleets. They have turned to Acta Shipping as a trusted advisor and agent to identify and acquire suitable vessels.
We have also expanded into dry bulk shipping, providing full commercial management for bulk carriers: chartering, voyage planning, freight negotiations and performance monitoring.
Our approach continues to reflect the needs of our clients, bringing practical commercial shipping expertise to liquid and dry bulk markets.
