bunkering

Bunkering is the process of supplying fuel to ships for their propulsion and operations. It involves transferring large quantities of fuel, such as heavy oil or marine gas oil, from a tanker or storage facility to a vessel at port or anchorage. This process requires careful planning and safety measures to ensure the right fuel type and quantity are delivered efficiently and without contamination or accidents. Bunkering is a critical part of maritime logistics, enabling ships to operate over long distances and supporting global trade.
