Ship-to-ship Refueling

Ship-to-ship refueling is a maritime operation where one ship transfers fuel to another ship at sea. This process is essential for maintaining the operational capabilities of naval vessels, commercial ships, and fishing boats, allowing them to continue their journeys without returning to port. The operation is carefully coordinated to ensure safety and efficiency, often using specialized equipment and trained personnel to manage the transfer. It helps vessels extend their range, reduces the time spent in port, and supports logistical needs during long voyages or military missions.
