    • Capacity: Approximately 1 million barrels per vessel.
    • Routes: Optimized for routes through the Suez Canal, such as West Africa (Nigeria, Angola) to Europe (Rotterdam, Mediterranean).
    • Specifications: 30 Suezmax tankers with enhanced maneuverability and compliance with canal depth restrictions (maximum draft of 20 meters).
    • Client Benefit: Perfect for medium-distance routes with canal transit, balancing capacity and flexibility.
  • Aframax Tankers:
    • Capacity: 500,000 to 750,000 barrels per vessel.
    • Routes: Regional routes, such as intra-Asia (e.g., Singapore to Japan) and North Sea to Europe.
    • Specifications: 20 Aframax tankers designed for smaller ports and shorter distances, with double-hull construction and real-time cargo monitoring.
    • Client Benefit: Offers agility for regional trade, ensuring faster turnaround times and access to smaller ports.
Operational Excellence
  • Safety Standards: All crude oil tankers comply with the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, featuring double-hull designs to prevent spills and advanced fire suppression systems.
  • Cargo Handling: Equipped with inert gas systems (IGS) to reduce the risk of explosions and vapor recovery systems to minimize emissions during loading and unloading.
  • Route Optimization: AI-driven navigation systems analyze weather patterns, currents, and geopolitical risks to select the safest and most efficient routes, reducing transit times by up to 10%.
  • Port Operations: We coordinate with major ports like Ras Tanura (Saudi Arabia), Bonny (Nigeria), and Rotterdam (Netherlands) to ensure seamless loading and unloading, with an average turnaround time of 24–36 hours.

Refined Product Shipping

Peralta delivers refined petroleum products—such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and naphtha—to markets worldwide, supporting refineries, distributors, and end-users. Our product tankers are designed for versatility, ensuring safe and efficient transport of a wide range of refined cargos.
Fleet Capabilities
  • Medium Range (MR) Tankers:
    • Capacity: 30,000 to 50,000 deadweight tons (DWT), equivalent to 200,000–350,000 barrels.
    • Routes: Short to medium-haul routes, such as intra-Asia (Singapore to Japan) and Europe to West Africa.
    • Specifications: 10 MR tankers with segregated cargo tanks to handle multiple product grades (e.g., gasoline and diesel) in a single voyage.
    • Client Benefit: Flexible for smaller cargo volumes and regional distribution, with faster delivery times.
  • Long Range (LR) Tankers:
    • Capacity: 50,000 to 80,000 DWT, equivalent to 350,000–550,000 barrels.
    • Routes: Medium to long-haul routes, such as U.S. Gulf Coast to Europe and Middle East to Asia.
    • Specifications: 5 LR tankers with advanced coating systems to prevent cargo contamination and vapor control systems for safety.
    • Client Benefit: Suitable for larger shipments over longer distances, ensuring economies of scale.
Operational Excellence
  • Cargo Integrity: Our tankers feature stainless steel or epoxy-coated cargo tanks to prevent contamination, ensuring product quality for sensitive cargos like jet fuel.
  • Temperature Control: Heating systems maintain cargo viscosity for products like heavy fuel oil, while cooling systems protect volatile cargos like gasoline.
  • Cleaning Protocols: Automated tank cleaning systems between voyages prevent cross-contamination, meeting stringent industry standards (e.g., API and ISO certifications).
  • Port Efficiency: We partner with key product hubs like Singapore, Houston, and Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) to streamline loading, unloading, and customs clearance, achieving an average port stay of 18–24 hours.

LNG Transport: Supporting the Transition to Cleaner Energy

As the world shifts toward cleaner energy sources, Peralta is proud to support the growing demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG). Our specialized LNG carriers are designed to transport this vital energy source safely and efficiently, helping clients meet their sustainability goals.

Fleet Capabilities
  • LNG Carriers:
    • Capacity: 5 vessels, each with a capacity of 150,000 to 180,000 cubic meters of LNG (equivalent to 90,000–110,000 tons).
    • Routes: Key LNG routes, such as Qatar to Japan, Australia to China, and U.S. to Europe.
    • Specifications: Equipped with membrane-type containment systems (e.g., GTT Mark III) for secure LNG storage, dual-fuel engines for reduced emissions, and reliquefaction plants to manage boil-off gas.
    • Client Benefit: High-capacity transport for LNG producers and buyers, with a focus on safety and environmental performance.
Operational Excellence
  • Cryogenic Expertise: Our LNG carriers maintain cargo at -162°C using advanced insulation and cooling systems, ensuring zero leakage or loss during transit.
  • Boil-Off Gas Management: Reliquefaction plants capture and reuse boil-off gas, reducing emissions and maximizing cargo delivery (typical boil-off rate reduced to 0.08% per day).
  • Safety Protocols: Crews undergo specialized LNG training, and vessels are equipped with gas detection systems, emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, and nitrogen purging to prevent hazards.
  • Port Compatibility: We work with major LNG terminals like Ras Laffan (Qatar), Sabine Pass (U.S.), and Gate Terminal (Netherlands), ensuring compatibility with loading and unloading infrastructure (e.g., jetty specifications, transfer rates of 10,000 m³/hour).
