Maputo-based oil supply company, Kangaroo Bunkers Mocambique Limitada has introduced with immediate effect a bunker barge at the port of Maputo capable of delivering intermediate fuel oil (IFO) with a viscosity range of 30 to 180 centistroke.
This is the first bunker barge to be introduced in the port – vessels previously had to sail to Richards Bay or Durban to refuel. Until now bunkering in the port was available by road tanker.
Initial response to the new service has been of the order of ‘topping up’ but the demand is expected to increase once ship owners and agents become aware of its availability.
