The 10,000 metric tonne MT ALPHA barge will be capable of conveniently refuelling ships with all low Sulphur fuel-compliant marine fuels to speed up turnaround times and maintain global supply chain efficiency. Fuels available will include Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) 0.5% and Low Sulphur Marine Gas Oil (MGO) 0.1% and High Sulphur Fuel Oil (HSFO) 3.5% at a pumping rate up to 1,000 m3 per hour.
Oman Oil Company is the leading marketer and distributor of multi-sector fuel and this partnership will allow SOHAR Port and Freezone to serve a bunker fuel market expected to grow at more than 12% in the Middle-East and Africa during the period of 2022-2025. SOHAR’s strategic advantages will be further strengthened as the nearest port to refuel, quickly and efficiently, which will attract further investment and support Oman’s journey to becoming a world class international logistics hub.
