- Vulela Marine Fuels extends physical LSMGO supply across South Africa
- Truck-to-ship deliveries in Durban, Richards Bay, Cape Town, Saldanha Bay, Gqeberha, Ngqura, and East London
- Duty-paid product with a maximum sulphur content of 50 ppm, company says
- Lubricants, chemicals, and safety equipment being added to its range
Durban-based marine fuel supplier Vulela Marine Fuels has announced the expansion of its physical truck-to-ship Low Sulphur Marine Gas Oil (LSMGO) supply network to all seven of South Africa's major commercial ports.
The company says it now delivers LSMGO around the clock in Durban, Richards Bay, Cape Town, Saldanha Bay, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Ngqura (Coega), and East London.
The fuel is duty-paid and supplied from distillate stock with a maximum sulphur content of 50 ppm, it said, adding that each delivery is backed by the applicable terminal or cargo Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Vulela says the network brings standardised bunkering procedures and delivery documentation, centralised operational coordination, and the ability to meet both scheduled and short-notice requirements.
Beyond fuel, the company says it is adding marine lubricants, marine chemicals, safety equipment, industrial gases, and specialist procurement services to its range for vessel operators in the region.
Outside South Africa, it serves customers through a wider network spanning hubs in Southern Africa, East Africa, West Africa, and the Indian Ocean, according to the company.
"By extending our physical supply capability across all seven South African commercial ports, we are able to offer customers a more consistent and accessible bunker supply solution while supporting their wider operational requirements across Africa," said National Operations Manager Tammy Muller in an emailed press release.
