CEPSA operating at '100 percent' in Huelva


Spanish supplier says it is now fully operational at the Andalucian port of Huelva.



Spanish bunker supplier CEPSA Marine Fuels, S.A. (CMF) has announced that it is now operating at "100 percent" in the port of Huelva, after revealing towards the end of last year that it was reinforcing its presence at the Andalucian port.

As part of a larger upgrading project at CEPSA’s La Rábida refinery in Palos de la Frontera, Huelva, CMF has increased its storage capacity and put in place new supply facilities.

Deliveries are carried out at the DECAL facilities, which are connected by pipeline to the Huelva refinery.

There are two new berthing points from where, occasionally, CMF will supply by pipeline, with a dedicated berth for the barge.

The company's double hull barge, the Spabunker 60, will carry out supplies at anchorage. The vessel has a fuel oil capacity of 2,400 metric tonnes and a marine gasoil (MGO) capacity of 680 metric tonnes. Its pumping capacity is 2x600 tonnes for fuel oil and 2x210 tonnes for MGO.

CMF will also continue to supply by truck for smaller deliveries.

"CMF is now ready to offer more flexibility, time-saving and better service in their bunkering activities at the Port of Huelva as well as in the Strait of Gibraltar," CMF said in a statement.

For further information, please contact CMF.
