Mozambique's Oceania Bunkering Mozambique is preparing to introduce ship-to-ship (STS) bunkering services at Beira Anchorage in October, increasing fuel supply options for vessels navigating the country's coastline. The expansion will be facilitated by the 2,500-mt-capable bunker barge Great Wall Energy, delivered mid-September. Initially, the company will cater to LSMGO demand, with intentions to introduce other fuel grades like VLSFO as operations scale later this year.
The new service arises from vessels opting for longer routes around the Cape of Good Hope, driving up the need for more bunkering points. Beira will offer a dependable LSMGO source for ships transiting the Mozambique Channel. Oceania Bunkering Mozambique, alongside Petromoc and CFM Logistics, a Mozambican state entity, are supporting this venture. The company has been supplying marine fuels, including VLSFO, MGO, and HSFO, at Maputo, Beira, Nacala, Pemba, and Quelimane.
