FUNDAMENTALS OF THE STENA SONANGOL SUEZMAX POOL

The Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool is comprised of vessel Owners and supports Chartering services who wish to leverage their position through spot market fluctuations. The Pool absorbs some of the market volatility risk by spreading it over several vessels that trade on the open spot market. To achieve this all vessels in the Pool are assigned Pool points to ensure a neutral and equitable system for the net revenue distribution which can:

  • readily be described and is transparent to vessel owners
  • be used to evaluate new vessels entering the Pool

ORBIT

The utilization of digital technology is key to further improve the efficiency and reduce the environmental footprint of ship operations. The Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool uses the Orbit platform to monitor, optimize and plan day-to-day operations as well as long-term strategic positioning. The platform allows us to continuously improve the utilization and performance of our fleet by supplying and visualizing relevant and up-to-date performance and market data with applied intelligence tailored for our needs. It’s also a collaboration and data sharing platform, opening up the operations to our pool partners and improving the transparency towards our charterers.
