BP today announced the deployment of a new dedicated bunkering barge in the South African port of Richards Bay.

The 6,000-tonne vessel, which was delivered and mobilised today, will work as a bunker barge, floating storage, and replenishment vessel loading fuel from the BP refinery in Durban, delivering bunkers to BP customer vessels in Richards Bay.

"The introduction of this barge will help alleviate stock outs and give the bunker market reliable, flexible supply safely and efficiently," said BP.
