McQuilling Offshore Chartering services cover a vast array of vessels, including crew boats, utility boats, FSVs, FSIVs, OCVs, IMRVs, PSVs, MPSVs, AHTSs, and tug boats, as well as accommodation vessels, pipe laying vessels and lift boats. We also specialize in oil rig procurement, such as jack-up rigs, semi-submersibles and drill ships. Most of our offshore success stems from S&P, consulting and chartering operations in Mexico through our Mexico City office. We have established successful operations within the US Gulf and the Mexican Gulf, and through our worldwide network of offices, we continue to develop emerging business in West Africa and South East Asia.

Chemical Chartering

McQuilling provides knowledge-based brokerage services — from initial planning to sustainable shipping to dependable delivery worldwide — for swaps and/or physicals for various petrochemical products based on market pricing.

Benzene (BZ), Paraxylene (PX) and Styrene Monomer (SM) physical products are routinely transacted by our team of expert brokers. We also broker Toluene, which is extracted from naphtha, and is both a gasoline blending component as well as a feedstock for xylene and other products. We have been brokering BZ and PX swaps since they were launched by SGX. We also broker Paraxylene-naphtha and Benzene-naphtha OTC swaps through our offices in Singapore.

McQuilling also provides ship brokerage services within the small tanker specialty sector. We focus on the spot and contract ship markets as well as advising and executing bespoke projects involving chemical, vegoil and petroleum products. Having a physical presence in these markets and regions allows us to better serve the needs of owners and charterers wherever they operate.
