World Fuel Services named exclusive bunker supplier at Nederland Terminal, Texas


Fuel specialist to begin supplying 380 cSt and MGO ex-pipe from March 2017.

World Fuel Services (WFS) has announced that it will be the exclusive supplier of marine fuel at the Sunoco Logistics Nederland Terminal in Texas, starting in March 2017.

WFS says it will be offering RMG-specification 380 centistoke (cSt) intermediate fuel oil (IFO) and low-sulphur marine gas oil (MGO) with a maximum sulphur content of 0.1 percent. Both products are to be made available ex-pipe and it will also be possible to supply marine fuel to vessels while the loading and discharging of cargoes takes place, WFS has confirmed.

Located in the 'Golden Triangle' area of Southeast Texas comprising Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange, the Nederland terminal provides storage and distribution services to refiners and other transporters of crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The terminalling services operate with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 26 million barrels of crude oil and 1 million barrels of NGLs.

Joe Gowen, Senior Vice President, Global Marine Supply, World Fuel Services, remarked: "World Fuel Services is excited to work with Sunoco Logistics to offer this innovative fueling solution to the marine industry."
