The operation of refueling ships and small and large vessels at sea is called bunkering. Today, bunkering itself has become an industry that, in addition to delivering fuel, also provides other extensive services to ships, vessels and their crews. Bunkering can be done in two ways: refueling at sea using special vessels or mooring the ship at refueling piers; although both methods are used to refuel ships, the second method, i.e. mooring the ship at refueling piers and ports, is considered the common method of bunkering, and along with it, bunkering service providers also use the first method.
What is important for a ship or vessel is the fueling process at the lowest possible cost and with the best quality, therefore, the price of fuel, the amount of deviation from the main route to reach the refueling pier, the speed of operation, etc. are important and decisive components in the selection of fueling terminals. Considering that about 70 percent of world trade is carried out through maritime transport, the quality, price, safety and ease of access to motor fuel for ships passing through the waters are very important issues, so we have devoted all our attention and effort to achieving this and, by having numerous storage tanks and bunkers in the port areas of the south of the country, we are ready to provide services to ships passing through the Persian Gulf region.
