Ship-to-Ship Transfers: How It Works with Trade Fuels Energy

Ship-to-ship (STS) transfers are a highly efficient method of moving large quantities of fuel—such as Jet A1, EN590 Diesel, and Crude Oil—directly from one vessel to another while at sea or anchored offshore. This process is often used to avoid port congestion, reduce logistics costs, or reroute cargo to meet shifting global demand.

The STS Transfer Process:

  1. Pre-Transfer Planning
    • Identification of a safe, approved STS location
    • Coordination between vessel masters, marine supervisors, and local authorities
    • Review of weather, tides, and safety protocols
  2. Operational Setup
    • Mooring the receiving and delivering vessels side by side
    • Connecting transfer hoses and setting up fendering systems
    • Conducting pre-transfer safety checks and documentation
  3. Fuel Transfer
    • Controlled pumping of fuel from the supply vessel to the receiving ship
    • Constant monitoring for pressure, flow rate, and safety
    • Real-time communication between vessels
  4. Post-Transfer Operations
    • Disconnection of hoses and separation of vessels
    • Completion of shipping documents (e.g., Bill of Lading, Quantity Certificates)
    • Fuel analysis and quality control verification
