Gwadar Port is a deep-sea port on the Arabian Sea, located at the gateway to the Persian Gulf just outside the Strait of Hormuz.

“…for the first time in the port’s history, commercial vessels will be able to bunker HSFO, VLSFO and LSMGO at Gwadar Port,” Vitol Bunkers said.

The supplier recently delivered 2,500 mt of VLSFO by barge to a conventionally fuelled LNG carrier at the port.

Vitol Bunkers has deployed two barges to supply conventional marine fuels across Karachi anchorage, Karachi port and Port Qasim in Pakistan. It also offers barge deliveries of VLSFO and LSMGO in Singapore and across West Africa, from Dakar to offshore Lomé, according to its website.
