Light sweet crude grades are the most sought-after feedstocks for modern petroleum refineries due to their elevated API gravity and ultra-low sulfur concentrations. Upon atmospheric and vacuum distillation, these grades yield superior cuts of virgin naphtha, kerosene, and gasoil while minimizing heavy residual bottoms and hydrotreater hydrogen demand.
AIA BERLIAN INTERNATIONAL structures upstream crude offtake agreements directly with sovereign concessionaires, equity producers, and international trading desks. We handle maritime chartering across Aframax, Suezmax, and VLCC vessels, executing strict laytime management and cargo surveillance from offshore loading single-point mooring (SPM) terminals to destination discharge ports.
