CPG Bunkering: New increase in bunker fuel demand at Nacala and Maputo following Red Sea crisis

CPG Bunkering, a subsidiary of Civitas Partners Group, an investment and private project development group operating in Southern Africa since 2012 on Wednesday (27 December) noted of a new increase in bunker fuel demand at the ports of Nacala and Maputo following the Red Sea crisis.

“CPG Bunkering continues to replenish fuel oil and gasoil stocks in both Nacala and Maputo to accommodate the new increase in demand with vessels diverting from the Red Sea route and requiring reliable bunkering services in South Eastern Africa,” it said on a social media post.

“Both Nacala and Maputo are already well known amongst our traditional cargo callers and bunker only customers on worldwide trade routes or prior to calling Beira, and currently we are accommodating the increase in demand without congestion at both ports.”

Manifold Times on 22 December reported Global Risk Management noting the demand for bunker fuels will increase due to longer voyages and possible higher speed of sailing following the Red Sea crisis.
