Aegean Marine Petroleum is pleased to announce the immediate commencement of bunkering operations at FNIDEQ ANCHORAGE, North Morocco, the company says. Once again Aegean expands its presence in this strategic market through another location.
Tanger Med is a significant location which lies on the North African Coast at the Western entrance to the Straits of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic Ocean and FNIDEQ ANCHORAGE is situated 20miles South of Gibraltar Eastern anchorage just below the Spanish enclave of ‘Ceuta’ in Morocco.
The area, about 2 miles from shore, is well protected by North, West and South winds with a draft varying from 30m to 100m (1 to 4 shackles).
It is also a ‘waiting for order’ area where ships can anchor.
