CPG Bunkering to deploy extra bunker tanker at Port of Maputo

CPG Bunkering on Monday (30 September) said it signed an extension to their bunkering operating agreement with Maputo Port Development Company (MPDC). 

As part of this agreement, CPG Bunkering has agreed to deploy an additional bunker tanker, CPG Alma, to the Port of Maputo in addition to its existing bunker tanker CPG Alix.

“With two bunker barges operating at the port of Maputo, the expanded service will be able to cater for reliable at-berth supplies during cargo operations and an increasing volume of bunker-only calls at anchorage,” CPG Bunkering said in a social media post. 

Signed on 26 September, the extension to the exclusive agreement between the parties covers all grades of marine fuels, lubricants and ship-to-ship transfer services. 

Furthermore, during the extension period, CPG Bunkering has agreed to evaluate the possible supply of alternative bunker fuels such as biofuels, LNG, methanol and ammonia at the port of Maputo. 

Both CPG Alma (IMO 9326677) and CPG Alix (IMO 9418406) are presently in the Port of Maputo and have commenced the provision of this service.
