Instant Tanker Booking
Book ocean-going tankers in minutes — not days of back-and-forth calls. Select your route, vessel class, cargo grade. Confirm. Done.
How It Works
Select load port, discharge port, cargo grade (EN590, A1, D6, Octanes, and more), quantity, and laycan date. Every product we support listed in one place.
Our system searches available vessels across Aframax, Panamax, Suezmax, and VLCC classes — pulling real-time position data to surface only ships that can meet your laycan.
Review the fixture terms, pay a deposit through our escrow system. We hold funds until voyage completion — protecting both charterer and vessel owner. The rest settles on delivery.
Escrow secured. Funds released when vessel reports arrival.
Vessel Classes
Short-sea, coastal, and regional routes. Ideal for refined products and short transits across the Mediterranean, North Sea, and Caribbean.
The workhorse of regional crude and product trades. Suits ports with draft restrictions that keep VLCCs out. Dominates the Black Sea, East Mediterranean, and Southeast Asia.
Maximum size for the Panama Canal. Serves the Americas, Pacific routes, and trades that require canal transit. Efficient for long-haul refined product moves.
Fills the Suez Canal at maximum capacity. Primary vessel for West Africa to Europe crude routes and Middle East to Mediterranean trades.
The giants. Ultra long-haul crude from Arabian Gulf to Asia, West Africa to Europe, US Gulf to worldwide. Two million barrels in a single voyage. This is where the money moves.

The Status Quo
Clarksons has 130 years of market dominance. Broker houses still take 48 hours to confirm a spot fixture. Small traders and independent charterers pay the price — less transparency, worse rates, zero leverage.
That's not because it's complex. It's because no one built the alternative.
TankerSpot is the instant booking platform for ocean tankers. Real-time vessel availability. Live freight benchmarks. Secure payment escrow. One click from request to confirmed fixture.
The freight market runs on information asymmetry.
We think that should end.
