Total Lubmarine Resumes Full Services at Tianjin
Total Lubmarine Monday announced in an emailed statement that it has resumed all services based out of the Port of Tianjin, adding that it experienced only minor disruption as a result of the massive explosions that occurred at the port last month.
"The warehouse used by Total Lubmarine was unaffected by the explosions and the facilities of its main delivery agent were also undamaged, however the port's customs building has been badly impacted," the company said.
"Consequently Total Lubmarine services based out of the Port of Tianjin have fully resumed but are subject to an extra working day's notice (four days instead of three). Services for customers with vessels calling at the Port of Tianjin itself remain subject to the same period of notice as before the explosions - two working days."
Delivery managers are in contact with all customers taking on lubricants at the port of Tianjin and the following nearby ports: Caofeidan, Huanghua, Jing Tang, Qinhuangdao, Shanhaiguan and Tangshan.
The August 12 incident claimed scores of lives and saw a number of maritime services, including bunkering, suspended.
