We specialize in providing safe, reliable, and efficient shipping solutions for crude oil and refined products.
Safe and Efficient Transfers
At Nieto Shipping B.V., the safety and efficiency of our Ship-to-Ship (STS) transfer operations form the backbone of our service philosophy. We understand the critical nature of transferring oil cargo at sea, and every operation is carefully planned and executed under the highest international safety standards, including MARPOL and OCIMF guidelines. Our operational protocols involve detailed risk assessments, weather monitoring, pre-operation checklists, and continuous real-time supervision to ensure that every transfer is conducted with maximum precision and control.
We invest heavily in crew training, state-of-the-art equipment, and procedural excellence to eliminate risks and avoid incidents. By prioritizing safety at every stage—from positioning the vessels to the final disconnection—we minimize operational downtime and environmental impact. Whether in calm or more challenging marine conditions, clients can trust Nieto Shipping B.V. to deliver fast, seamless, and incident-free cargo transfers, protecting both their assets and the marine environment.
Experienced Coordination and Planning
Every successful STS transfer operation begins with careful coordination and thorough planning. At Nieto Shipping B.V., we bring deep expertise and industry knowledge to every project, ensuring that all operational elements are fully aligned before any physical activity begins. Our dedicated team of STS coordinators and marine experts meticulously plan each transfer operation, taking into account vessel specifications, cargo types, local maritime regulations, environmental conditions, and operational windows.
We maintain close communication with shipmasters, port authorities, and relevant regulatory bodies to guarantee that every detail—from approach speed to fender arrangement—is handled professionally. Our thorough pre-operation meetings, detailed method statements, and emergency contingency planning mean that nothing is left to chance. With our strong focus on proactive planning and operational discipline, clients benefit from smooth, predictable, and highly efficient STS operations, time after time.
