Why shell is having its own shipping company while others use pure shipping companies to transport their oil?
Shell uses shipping as a support for its other core business activities. the shipping expertise is used for a number of reasons like training, vetting surveys, ship building and many more that u can find on shell website. having its own shipping cmpany gives it status and keeps it informed about the day to day developments in the shipping as Shell charters the highest number of ships around the world for supporting its exploration, production, refining, LNG, oil, chemical and lubes business. it inspects ships for cargo owners to maintain a certain standard of shipping. However you will be surprised to know Shell’s own ships are quite below the mark.
