Red Sea Bunkering, based in the Republic of Djibouti, has resumed the supply of VLSFO (Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil) at the ports of this country. This move reflects the company's ongoing efforts to maintain fuel supply capacity amid challenging conditions in the global shipping market.
Maintaining Operational Readiness in Difficult Conditions
The CEO of Red Sea Bunkering, Abdi Ismail, announced that despite structural challenges and ongoing developments in the global shipping industry, the company is fully operational. He emphasized that the company continues its fuel supply services in close collaboration with its strategic partners.
Fuel Supply Details and Fleet Expansion
Although the company did not provide an explanation for the previous suspension of VLSFO supply, it confirmed that it now offers this type of fuel along with LSMGO (Low Sulfur Marine Gas Oil) at all ports of the Republic of Djibouti and also at domestic anchorages. Ismail noted that despite the current market difficulties, Red Sea Bunkering is capable of maintaining uninterrupted supply of all major marine fuels, including low sulfur marine gas oil.
The company has recently expanded its fleet by adding the fuel barge MT Redsea III. The integration of this vessel significantly increases the company's fuel supply capacity and ensures that fuel supply for customer fleets is conducted quickly and efficiently.
Red Sea Bunkering currently operates only in the waters of the Republic of Djibouti, providing fuel and marine lubricant supply services. These activities significantly contribute to the development of the shipping industry in the region and may also lead to improvements in Djibouti's economic conditions.
