The Oman Oil Marketing Company (OOMC) has launched bunkering operations by barge at Port of Duqm, Omani media reports.

"Our fuel bunkering facilities at the Port of Duqm substantially elevate our ability to meet the needs of the shipping industry and provides us with a valuable foothold in one of the region's most important maritime projects. To date, we have delivered over 3,000 tonnes of bunker fuel oil to major customers in the Port of Duqm," said David Kalife, CEO of OOMC.

Reggy Vermeulen, CEO of the Port of Duqm, commenting on the development, added: "together with Oman Oil Marketing Company's new barge services, we are in a position to better serve the continuous flow of commercial and cargo vessels coming into our port."

In coming years, the company intends to continue to develop a complete bunker supply facility at the Port of Duqm, notes Kalife.
