The Las Palmas Port Authority has posted a combined 28% increase in bunkering volume at La Luz Port (also called Las Palmas Port) and other marine facilities in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain during 2017, reports La Vanguardia.
A total 449,215 metric tonnes (mt) of marine fuel were sold to vessels in 2017, higher than sales figures of 353,659 mt in the year before.
The increase has been attributed to an approximate 20% rise in international container traffic in the comparative period, according to the port authority.
