CRUDE
Welcome to Visionshark, your trusted partner in oil and gas consulting. With our extensive network of brokers, we facilitate smooth transactions for both buyers and sellers, ensuring every detail is managed effectively. Whether you're a seller, buyer, or broker, we're here to guide through the process.
Key Information About Us
At the core of our operations is mutual transparency—we are fully transparent and expect the same from those we work with.
All of our buyers own and operate their own vessels, allowing for greater reliability and control in logistics.
We are directly connected to a refinery and can supply EN590, D6, and Jet A1. Our successful track record includes TTT (Tank-to-Tank) and TTV (Tank-to-Vessel) transactions through our mandate with these refineries.
In addition, we have access to multiple refineries worldwide, enabling us to offer flexible sourcing options to meet diverse client needs.
It’s important to note that while our buyers and sellers do not actively seek new clients, they are always open to building strong relationships and expanding their network when opportunities arise.
