"Elara-DV" tanker left port of Nakhodka for bulk-oil port of Kozmino, where it bunkered the large-capacity tanker "Amba Bhavanee" (DWT - 100 thousand tons, flag - India). This bunkering also took place at anchorage. The Indian vessel received 900 tn of IFO-380 fuel. The bunkering took about 3 hours.
The decision to transfer the tanker in the category of port fueler became the new approach to logistics in bunkering sector. Appeared opportunity to deliver major consignments of oil products to one of several vessels is the main advantage of high-tonnage fueler. "Elara-DV" is able to carry on its board up to 7.5 thousand tons of cargo. Tanker has an ability to give out the cargo with the speed up to 1000 cubic metre per hour. Such an approach gives opportunities to create a new system within the bunkering market presenting a regular movement of fueler on pre-coordinated schedule according to the inquiries of customers. Such scheme will rise up the quality level of bunker service in ports of Primorye to a new high stage.
