Bunkering Services

Fuel supply coordinated for your call at Chilean ports — supplier nomination, quantity and quality control, delivery and documentation — arranged as part of the same port agency file, by the same point of contact.

Talk to our team

A bunker call is only as good as the fuel that actually arrives on board, in the quantity ordered and at the quality specified. We coordinate the whole operation for vessels calling at Chilean ports: nominating the right supplier, controlling quantity and quality at delivery, arranging the barge or truck that brings the fuel alongside, handling the tax-free arrangements the operation is entitled to, and preparing the documentation the call requires — all under the same port agency file as the rest of your recalada.

Fuel, coordinated with the rest of your call. One point of contact for bunkering, supplier nomination and quality control — alongside your other port agency services, not as a separate errand.

How a bunker call comes together

Requirement and specification

You tell us the grade, quantity and timing your vessel needs for the call.

Supplier nomination and coordination

We nominate and coordinate with the supplier, matched to your requirement and to the port.

Delivery, alongside your other services

Barge or truck delivery is arranged for the call, coordinated with pilotage, provisioning or crew changes happening at the same time.

Quality control and documentation

Quantity and quality are controlled at delivery, tax-free arrangements are handled, and the documentation the operation requires is prepared and passed to the master and owners.

“We answer for it — if it is our name on the port call, the responsibility does not get passed down a chain of subcontractors.”

Where it fits in the call

Bunkering is frequently arranged as part of a Strait of Magellan transit, alongside provisioning through Amundsen Ship Chandler and equipment such as Yokohama fenders for ship-to-ship work — all under the same port agency file as the rest of your call.
