Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Ocean-Venture

In response to the surge in gasoline demand following Hurricane Harvey, several European product tankers are now rerouting to the United States. Genscape reports a significant diversion of approximately 111,000 metric tons (MT) of gasoline that was originally scheduled for West African and European destinations. Notably, the product tanker 'Stenaweco Venture,' which departed from Finland's Porvoo refinery on August 2, has altered its course from Lome, Togo, to Cape Canaveral, Florida, now expected to arrive on September 9. Another vessel, the 'Elandra Oak,' left Milford Haven, UK, on August 29, and has also redirected from Lome to Port Everglades, with an anticipated arrival on September 10. Each tanker is transporting gasoline cargoes ranging from 37 to 38 kilo metric tons (KMT), underscoring the urgent need to meet the rising demand in the U.S. market as recovery efforts continue post-storm.
