HISTORY

Sanco Shipping was founded on an idea in 1996.

The idea was that there was a need in the market for ships that could deliver bunkers and provisions to seismic vessels whilst still in operation. This way the seismic vessels would avoid costly port calls.

The founder was a marine officer with 30 years of seafaring experience, 15 of which as Captain on highly advanced seismic vessels.

Although loyal to the original business idea, Sanco today also owns and operates highly advanced 2D and 3D seismic vessels working for some of the worlds most renowned geophysical companies.
