Vantage Corp is a shipbroking firm that provides intermediary services for the tanker market, facilitating the transportation of crude oil, refined petroleum products, petrochemicals, biofuels, and vegetable oils between oil companies, traders, shipowners, and commercial managers. Headquartered in Singapore with an office in Dubai, the company employs over 59 professionals who offer brokerage, operational support, and consultancy services to optimize cargo movements and contract outcomes.
Vantage Corp generates revenue primarily through commission-based fees earned on shipping transactions. These commissions are calculated as a percentage of freight paid for voyage charters, the purchase or sale price of vessels in sale-and-purchase deals, and the total demurrage payable by charterers. The company also derives income from its operational support and consultancy services, which include contract management, market analysis, and advisory work related to vessel deployment and fleet planning.
The company operates through the following segments:
• Dirty petroleum products / crude: This segment focuses on the transportation of crude oil and heavy oils.
• Clean petroleum products: This segment covers the movement of refined fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel, diesel, and naphtha.
• Petrochemicals: This segment provides specialized transportation of chemicals for the chemical tanker fleet.
• Biofuels and vegetable oils: This segment handles the shipment of biofuels and vegetable oils, often linked with the clean petroleum and petrochemicals divisions.
• Projects: This segment engages in long-term charter agreements, including time charters ranging from two to three years.

Its advantages include a team‑based structure that promotes collaboration and retention, deep expertise across multiple cargo segments, and the integration of technology through its proprietary Opswiz platform, which enhances operational efficiency and data analytics.
