Shipping is at the core of Lecotra’s success by providing a logistical edge in the competition and ensuring efficient and timely delivery of our products. We own and operate our own fleet of tankers, ranging in size from small coastal vessels to mid-range (MR) tankers, capable of carrying clean and dirty petroleum products (CPPs and DPPs) and chemicals. Our shipping department benefits from a wealth of operational and technical experience brought by our ex-captains and chief engineers as well as a specialist chartering desk to source the vessels we need to charter from time to time.
