Ship To Ship Transfer Operations (STS)
Through our associates FSRS can provide STS operations as described below:
An Overview
An STS Transfer Operation is an operation where crude oil, petroleum products, liquefied gas or bulk ore are transferred between seagoing ships made fast alongside each other. Such operations may take place when one ship is at anchor or when both are underway.
Each operation includes:
- the approach manoeuvre
- mooring
- hose connection / disconnection for liquid products
- cargo transfer
- unmooring
The bulk ore transfers are carried out with a dedicated vessel designed to discharge up to 1,250 metric tonnes per hour.
Complying with international and local requirements, our STS operations are carried out by trained and experienced personnel to ensure safe control.
We also provide all necessary equipment such as hoses, fenders, and support craft, as well as full back-up services including standby boats, equipment transportation and a 24-hour communication coverage with vessels.
STS offered by FSRS can address your concerns related to:
- Nominations
- Scheduling
- Diversions
- Risk Areas
- Restrictions

- Salvage
Acting on behalf of Principals worldwide, FSRS has the expertise to handle transfers between all sizes of vessels and varying nationalities, thanks to our years of experience in the transfer of Liquefied Bulk (Crude Oil, Petroleum Products, Chemicals), LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and Bulk Ore.
