 How CoastalPetro Shipping Powers the Flow of Oil & Gas

Oil shipping to China is one of the most critical links in the global energy supply chain. As the world’s second-largest economy and a top energy importer, China relies heavily on crude oil and LNG arriving from the Gulf and beyond. At CoastalPetro Shipping, we play a vital role in connecting these energy flows, ensuring every shipment is delivered with safety, efficiency, and integrity.

The Supply Chain: From Extraction to Export

The journey begins with crude oil extracted from the Gulf’s rich fields. From there, oil is transported to refineries and terminals before being loaded onto specialized tankers. CoastalPetro Shipping ensures seamless coordination at every stage from terminal scheduling to fleet deployment so that oil and gas exports reach Chinese ports without disruption.

Our vessels are designed for long-distance crude oil transport and LNG shipping, built to meet international standards and optimize performance in demanding waters.

Navigating Regulatory Waters

Global maritime logistics is more than just navigation compliance. Shipping routes like the Strait of Malacca and the Suez Canal require precision and adherence to international rules. At CoastalPetro Shipping, we strictly comply with IMO (International Maritime Organization) regulations, covering everything from pollution prevention to crew safety.
