Petrochemicals

Ethylene is the fundamental plastic building block in the chemical industry and is produced through steam cracking. It has a boiling point of -104 ºC. Our ethylene capable vessels are suited to carry this cargo.

Propylene, like ethylene, is also a prime building block in the chemical industry and used in a wide variety of finished products. It has a boiling point of -47ºC.

Butadiene is primarily used in the production of synthetic rubber and has a boiling point of -5 ºC.

These three key petrochemical processed gases make up of the ingredients in the worlds production of processed derivatives which in turn are used in the manufacturing of a myriad end products such as

Food packaging
Medical equipment
Pharmaceuticals
Consumer electronics
Footwear
Tyres
Paper
Textiles
Paints
Kitchen appliances
Nappies

What we transport

Our specialised gas carriers are some of the most complex oceangoing vessels to operate, and are capable of carrying LPG, Petrochemicals and Ammonia at ambient and refrigerated temperatures. The vessels often change from one cargo grade to another meeting the needs of our customers.

LPG

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a portable, clean and efficient energy source which is readily available to consumers around the world. LPG is primarily...

Ammonia

Liquid ammonia has a boiling point at -33ºC. 90% of ammonia production globally is used as a key component in the manufacturing of fertilizers...
