Shipping

As the region’s premier tanker agent and offshore service provider, TIG Shipping represents many of the world’s leading shipping owners, operators and charterers and offers regional, trans-regional or global coordinated financial and port-call management services, tailored to individual corporate needs.​

​

TIG’s Shipping and Chartering Division operates as a service provider securing competitive and reliable freight for our in-house oil, metals and minerals traders. The Wet and Dry Freight desks also operate respectively as profit centres in their own right.

 

Shipping and chartering operations are managed out of Trafigura’s key regional hubs in Athens, Geneva, Houston, Lima, Montevideo and Singapore. As a result, we have 24/7 coverage of freight and physical commodity markets.

​

All post-fixture operations, which include issuing voyage orders, completing stowage plans, negotiating with port agents and handling demurrage claims are managed centrally from our Singapore office.
