Tanker Shipping

Delivering Excellence Across Inland and Coastal Waters

At Pont B.V., our core competency lies in the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible transport of refined petroleum products via inland and short-sea tanker shipping. Since our incorporation in 2009, we have developed a specialized tanker fleet and robust logistics framework designed to meet the stringent demands of the energy sector across Europe and beyond.

Specialized Fleet for Petroleum Logistics

Our modern double-hulled tankers are purpose-built for the safe carriage of high-value refined products. These vessels are outfitted with advanced inert gas systems, GPS-based routing, and real-time cargo monitoring technologies. Each ship is meticulously maintained and compliant with international maritime standards including MARPOL and SOLAS.

Custom Chartering & Scheduling

Pont B.V. offers flexible chartering solutions, from spot shipments to long-term contracts, tailored to meet the operational needs of fuel marketers, refineries, traders, and national distributors. Our chartering desk coordinates seamless port entries, berth reservations, and weather-optimized routing to reduce delays, demurrage, and fuel consumption.

We maintain strong relationships with port authorities and terminal operators across Europe to ensure fast turnaround and reliable scheduling at key locations such as: Port of Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, Amsterdam.

Safety First, Always

Every shipment is handled under the strictest safety protocols. Our crews undergo ongoing training in cargo handling, emergency response, and environmental containment. Our onboard systems are designed to detect anomalies, pressure variations, and temperature fluctuations in real-time—ensuring both the cargo and the crew are protected at all times.

Integrated Operations with Terminal Infrastructure

Our shipping operations are tightly integrated with our terminal and tank storage infrastructure. This allows for real-time inventory tracking, pre-loading quality checks, and synchronized dispatch planning. Through these coordinated processes, clients benefit from faster vessel turnaround, lower operational costs, and greater visibility across their supply chain.

Sustainable Marine Logistics

As part of our environmental responsibility, we are transitioning our fleet to low-sulfur fuels, implementing shore power usage where available, and exploring hybrid propulsion systems. Every voyage is planned with the goal of reducing our carbon footprint and supporting a more sustainable energy distribution model.
