For almost 25 years and counting, Saudi Aramco, the largest oil supplier in the world, has entrusted its affiliate, Vela International Marine Ltd. with the critical role of delivering crude oil and hydrocarbon products to both international and domestic customers in a safe, efficient, and environmentally sound manner.
Vela provides an ocean transportation link which enables Saudi Aramco to effectively compete with crude oil suppliers in North American and the European Union markets.
We are proud to be that strong link in Saudi Aramco’s logistical chain. This strong link contributed in making Saudi Aramco the world’s most reliable provider of crude oil and petroleum products.
Mr. Saleh B. Ka’ki, President & CEO of Vela International Marine Ltd., has set the priority for the Company by stating “Vela believes that safety is our business and we will continue to focus on this aspect to lead by example.”
Innovative programs, such as the Behavioral Based Safety Process, which was implemented in 2004, training courses specifically designed for the company, including courses in Liquid Cargo Handling, a unique Fire fighting Course and appropriate risk assessment training have been important factors in maintaining Vela’s reputation of being a reliable, safe and environmentally sound ocean transportation company.
Whether it is long haul crude or short haul products, Vela is what the world expects it to be: A good steward of the environment, a leader in technological innovations, with a staff dedicated to solving our customers’ problems.
Vela’s goal is to be known as the company that can be entrusted with carrying Energy to the World.
