KNOT Offshore Partners LP (KNOP)

KNOT Offshore Partners LP owns, buys and operates shuttle tankers that work under long-term charters in the North Sea and Brazil. The vessels load, carry, discharge and store crude oil and are chartered on both time charter and bareboat charter terms. As of March 17, 2022, the fleet included seventeen shuttle tankers.

The partnership was founded in 2013 and has its headquarters in Aberdeen, United Kingdom, where it oversees fleet operations for clients in several countries. It emphasizes safety standards and reliable operations and continues to grow in major offshore oil producing regions.

Through acquisitions and careful fleet management, the partnership aims to build value for unitholders. It relies on its experience with shuttle tankers and long-term charters to pursue opportunities in moving crude oil to global markets.
