Mumbai, India OPL bunkering is fully underway as of October 1, 2015 following the lifting of restrictions due to Monsoon Season, Gulf Petrol Supplies L.L.C (GPS Bunkers) has said in an emailed note.
"Due to the port restriction and barge restriction at Gulf of Khambat (also known as the Gulf of Cambay, it is an inlet of the Arabian Sea along the west coast of India, in the state of Gujarat) Mumbai OPL will be the best alternative to fulfill the bunker requirements of the vessels working cargo there or for the vessels passing by," said GPS Bunkers.
"The prices at Mumbai OPL will be of the range of Mops 380 plus 30 delivered for bigger qty of more than 500 metric tonnes (mt) and can be very competitive for quantities more than 1000 MTs."
Mumbai OPL monthly sales volumes were said to be around 6,000 to 8,000 mt per month, with product sourced from refiners including Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL).
"We will be appointing the agents and there will be no additional cost for bunker supply except the Fuel Price," said GPS Bunkers.
