Demand Surge Sees Atlantic Gulf Bunkering Expand MGO, ECA Product Availability
Alabama-based Atlantic Gulf Bunkering LLC (Atlantic Gulf Bunkering) today announced in an emailed press release that it has "significantly expanded" the availability of both MGO and Emissions Control Area (ECA) compliant product through the expansion of its owned barging capacity, storage, and third-party trucking availability.
"We are seeing great demand for MGO and ECA products," said John Canal, CEO of Bunkers International Corp.
"With the 2015 regulatory changes, demand has surged, and we have scaled up our operation to meet that demand. We have strong blending capability and we are able to make these low-sulphur fuels in volume."
Atlantic Gulf Bunkering says that the ECA product it offers is a fuel oil product that has a low pour point, high flash point, low metals, and viscosity similar to IFO 30.
"Due to its unique quality, it can be used in slow, medium, and high speed marine engines used in the marine transport trade," the supplier noted.
The company offers these fuels in Mobile, Gulfport, Pascagoula, Biloxi, Panama City, and surrounding areas via barge and truck and throughout Florida, Georgia, and Texas via truck.
"We have three clean product barges, which helps us to not be blocked out by lack of capacity," said Kirk Callais, Sales Manager for Atlantic Gulf Bunkering.
"We also keep adequate inventory on hand to handle our regular customers, customers needing larger volumes, and spot business that may need to be done in a short timeframe. Our truck deliveries can be done quickly as well."
The company also noted that it offers a full range of marine fuel products including a full complement of IFO products ranging from 30CST to 380CST, MGO, MDO, Low-Sulphur MGO, custom fuel blends, and also sells and provides cargoes to interested parties.
Atlantic Gulf Bunkering announced its entrance into the market in July 2013.
