A note on client confidentiality
Ship-to-Ship operations are commercially sensitive. Vessel names, cargo details, timings and counterparties belong to our clients, not to us, and we do not publish them for marketing purposes. Where an operation is shown on this site, it is shown because the asset and location are already a matter of public record.
Owners, charterers, terminals and screening departments assessing Geomar STS can request references, STS superintendent certificates and sample operational reports directly.Get in touch and we will provide them.
