How to Lease an Oil Tanker
July 25, 2024 6 min read
Leasing an oil tanker gives you control over marine transportation without the capital expense of owning a vessel. This guide covers the main charter types, how to choose the right tanker, and what to expect during the leasing process.
Types of Tanker Charters
- Time Charter: Lease the vessel and crew for a set period; you pay a daily hire rate.
- Voyage Charter: Pay per voyage for carriage of a specific cargo between ports.
- Bareboat Charter: Lease the vessel without crew and assume full operational responsibility.
The right charter type depends on your cargo volume, route, and duration of need.
Key Considerations
Vessel size, route, cargo compatibility, and regulatory compliance are critical. HAVA Logistics uses its extensive network of ship owners to arrange the most efficient and cost‑effective tanker for your needs.
