Ship Operations
BWT’s operations team oversees every stage of each voyage, from voyage planning and port and terminal coordination to cargo loading and discharging. The team works closely with ship agents, cargo surveyors and terminal operators to ensure smooth and efficient cargo operations. Throughout each voyage, the team maintains direct communication with the vessel to monitor progress, coordinate port formalities and respond promptly to any issues that may affect the vessel’s schedule or cargo integrity.
Ship Management
BWT’s ship management covers both the technical and safety aspects of vessel operations. On the technical side, a structured Planned Maintenance System (PMS) covers key equipment and safety equipment. This is supported by planned statutory and class surveys, as well as spare parts planning, to minimise unplanned downtime. On the safety side, the vessel operates under a Safety Management System (SMS) aligned with the ISM Code. Regular drills, near-miss reporting and internal inspections keep the vessel ready for operations and for external audits and vetting inspections.
Chartering
BWT offers both Voyage Charter and Time Charter arrangements, tailored to each charterer’s cargo requirements and trading limits. The terms of each charter party are agreed transparently at the outset, giving charterers a clear understanding of the commercial terms and operational expectations before committing to a cargo. Throughout the charter period, our team keeps charterers informed of the vessel’s position and cargo operations.
Trading AreasAsia
BWT’s current and target trading areas focus on regional Asian markets. Route selection takes into account charterer demand, port and terminal compatibility, and the vessel’s cargo segregation capabilities, allowing BWT to adapt flexibly as trading patterns evolve. Based in Vietnam, BWT provides charterers with reliable product tanker capacity across regional routes, backed by practical knowledge of local ports, terminals and operating conditions.
