Interco Ship

Tankers are vessels designed to transport or store liquids such as oil, refined products and chemicals in bulk. They are a relatively new concept, dating from the later years of the 19th century. The oil industry first used tankers to transfer refined fuel in bulk from refineries to customers, which was stored in large shore tanks and broken up into smaller lots for delivery. The use of tankers eventually caught on because other liquids were also cheaper to transport in bulk, store in dedicated terminals, then subdivide.

Interco is the tanker ship manager of choice for reputable ship owners thanks to its extensive track record in this space. We have good crew retention within a pool of well-qualified and experienced seafarers. Many of our cadets have been promoted to master or chief engineer ranks on the back of excellent performances at sea. We have highly trained and specialised tanker fleet teams around the globe to provide responsive, regionally based support. Interco offers high quality operations demonstrated through regular oil major reviews. These appraisals ensure vessels under our management are maintained in peak condition throughout their entire life span. Interco has over 25 years’ experience in managing tankers.
