Offshore bunkering operations in Trinidad may face disruptions between 26-28 March due to adverse weather conditions, a trader said.

High winds and rough seas forecast for the period are expected to affect delivery schedules, with the extent of impact likely to vary depending on conditions at the time of each operation.

The trader informed ENGINE that supply-vessel operators will assess conditions on a case-by-case basis before proceeding with deliveries, potentially leading to delays.

Backlog congestion is also a concern, as deliveries are currently being carried out one at a time, which could further slow operations.
