- Ultrapetrol (Bahamas) Limited operates as a maritime transportation provider, offering industrial shipping services across South America, Europe, Central America, North America, and Asia. The company’s operations are organized into three key divisions: River Business, Offshore Supply Business, and Ocean Business. The River Business segment manages and deploys dry and tanker barges, alongside push boats, within the Hidrovia region of South America, holding a significant position as an operator in this area. Its dry cargo vessels are instrumental in moving agricultural and forestry commodities, iron ore, and other bulk freight, while its liquid cargo barges are dedicated to transporting petroleum derivatives and vegetable oils. The Offshore Supply Business division owns and operates an extensive fleet of platform supply vessels, delivering crucial logistical and transport support to companies involved in offshore petroleum exploration and production. These vessels facilitate the transfer of containerized gear, drill casings, pipes, heavy loads, fuel, water, drilling fluids, and bulk cement to drilling installations and platforms. The Ocean Business segment oversees oceangoing vessels that transport various petroleum products and provides container line services within the Argentine cabotage market. The company caters primarily to clients in the petroleum, agricultural, and mining industries. Founded in 1992, Ultrapetrol (Bahamas) Limited is headquartered in Nassau, The Bahamas.
