The region is currently experiencing strong gale-force wind gusts of up to 36 knots. A window of calmer weather may allow bunkering to fully resume for a short period tomorrow before worsening again on Friday.

Though inbound traffic has been suspended, vessels currently in the anchorage area will continue to receive bunkers. Bunkering will be available for vessels currently in the bay area, port agent MH Bland told ENGINE.

Bad weather conditions have caused a backlog of 11 vessels, which are currently waiting to receive bunkers, according to MH Bland.
