The Ho Chi Minh City-based company said in a statement it also aims to expand its businesses to operating floating storage and offloading vessels for Vietnam's crude oil producers.
Last week, PV Trans secured a $175 million loan from a group of foreign banks led by Citigroup to purchase three Aframax oil tankers to transport crude oil for Vietnam's first refinery, the 140,000-barrelsper-day Dung Quat plant.
Vietnam has set a target to have at least three major refineries by 2013 as part of efforts to reduce imports of oil product, Petrovietnam has said.
