VOTPI Maritime · Service overview

01 / Overview

A service shaped around the voyage

Dedicated transport from refinery offtake points to designated terminals and depots.

Our refinery-to-terminal service is dedicated to the first-mile movement of refined products from refinery offtake points to downstream terminals and depots. We coordinate directly with refinery operators and terminal authorities to schedule loading within optimal time windows, minimising wait times and maximising cargo quality. Our vessels are equipped with approved cargo handling systems and our crews are trained in refinery terminal procedures. The service includes pre-loading cargo inspection, independent sampling at source, and pre-arrival notifications to ensure smooth discharge operations at the receiving terminal.
