About Cape Tankers
Cape Tankers conducts its business based on long-term relationships with key partners who share a strong focus on customers. The company believes in creating flexible, reliable and safe transportation solutions that meet our customers’ needs. The business platform is based on a proactive, but conservative philosophy striving to maintain a balanced approach of Spot and COA commitments, some of which have been successfully maintained and renewed for periods exceeding 10 years.
Cape Tankers was incorporated in 1995 and has grown to become an important global player in the transportation of crude oil and DPP. Since 2005, it has managed all commercial and operational activities for Panamax International (PI). The fleet is managed from the commercial office in Miami, USA and includes both Panamax/LR1 and Aframax vessels, comprising some 30 to 40 units.
Cape Tankers is a subsidiary of Ultranav, a privately owned shipping company for over six decades, headquartered in Chile and operating globally with offices in 17 countries.
