A bunker barge operating in the Western Australian ports of Fremantle and Kwinana will be in dry dock from early September to mid-November, making VLSFO and LSMGO unavailable by barge at these ports during this period, a source says.

The bunker barge Absolute 1 is the sole operating barge in this region, according to data from fuel labs that ENGINE has access to.

Although VLSFO will not be available at these ports, LSMGO can be supplied at berth, the source notes.
