New barge increases Le Havre bunker options

Global bunkering supplier, TOTAL Marine Fuels, has increased its bunkering capacity at the port of Le Havre, France, and at the Port 2000 container facilities with the delivery of its new bunkering barge, 'Cimil'. The 4,500-tonne capacity bunker tanker is more manoeuvrable and can deliver blends and different grades at 500TPH.
 
“This will allow us to offer a replacement to the Antifer pipeline service for tankers, which is out of service this year. It gives owners calling at Le Havre a new opportunity, especially for 380CSt fuel,” said Christophe Girardot, General Manager of TOTAL Marine Fuels.
Built in Turkey in 2010 for Swiss company ABC Maritime, 'Cimil' is chartered to TOTAL for three years. It can carry IFO 380, IFO 500, IFO 700 and DML in ten tanks.
TOTAL Marine Fuels currently delivers around one million tonnes of fuel per year in Le Havre.
