RAO Tanker

Rudolf A. Oetker Tanker (RAO Tanker) stands for quality, reliability, competence and effectiveness. RAO Tanker operates product tankers of various sizes and specifications all over the world. In the demand-driven tramp shipping sector, there are no fixed routes or sailing times. When and where a particular ship is loaded, and where it sails to, depends on the customer and the market. In addition to knowing the market well, RAO Tanker has over the years acquired the expertise it needs to provide the right ship at the right place at the ideal time.

We deliver your liquid bulk commodities

Our product tankers are used for the shipment of so-called “liquid bulk commodities”, such as fuel oil, aviation fuel and diesel, but also light chemicals. With such commodities, a distinction is made between “dirty” cargoes (e.g., crude, bunker and heavy heating oil) and “clean” cargoes (e.g., petrol, kerosene and naphtha).

In the product tanker segment, RAO Tanker has specialized in smaller units of so-called “medium-range (MR) product carriers” with capacities of up to 51,000 metric tons. The ships deployed by RAO Tanker are all equipped with double hulls to protect the environment. Unlike the large supertankers, they can also call at smaller ports and feature a large number of pumping and loading systems, which makes it possible to fill separate tank sections with different cargo. All tanks are coated and equipped with special high-pressure sprinkler systems, which allows them to be thoroughly cleaned.

Our product tankers, which are under way worldwide, tend to be chartered for the medium or long term.
