AET

Chartering

Our chartering professionals operating from London, Houston and Singapore, provide one of the main commercial interfaces between AET and our customers. Dedicated to delivering a high quality service, the team works with customers and partners to employ the fleet on a mix of period and spot business and to arrange longer term contracts of affreightment (COA).

In London, the team specialises in the commercial employment of the global VLCC and Suezmax fleet. Singapore supports our clean fleet and our Aframax vessels employed in the Asia Pacific operating area. The US Gulf lightering operations and the Atlantic based Aframax fleet are managed from Houston.

Although geographically dispersed, the three teams work together to provide customers with a seamless global solution, together with a local service.

Operations

The specialist, in-house operations team also works from London, Houston and Singapore, in tandem with our chartering people, to ensure that all voyages are executed on-time, safely and in line with the charter party agreements with our customers.
 
Members of the operations team have many years of sea-going and shore-based experience within the tanker industry and bring valuable first-hand knowledge of vessel types, voyage routings, load and discharge ports, terminals, brokers, agents, bunker-suppliers, inspectors, port restrictions and other local contacts.  This allows us to give direct personal attention to operational detail which contributes to our enviable record of on-time performance.
 
Members of the operations team work closely with customers to ensure that the most appropriate vessel is available, to manage the voyage and to resolve any issues that might arise.
