Taking fuel at Dar es Salaam
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-08-31.
At Dar es Salaam bunkers are a barge business, not a shore-berth service. The port's liquid-bulk fuel is imported through a 150,000-mt Single Point Mooring offshore and the Kurasini Oil Jetty — those handle cargo parcels, not ships' bunkers. For a vessel's own fuel, suppliers such as Seven Ocean Bunkering list VLSFO, HSFO, LSMGO and MGO delivered by bunker barge or by pipeline.
The commercial port itself is eleven berths totalling over 2,600 metres, worked with a large tug and mooring-boat fleet, so a bunker barge normally comes alongside your allocated berth or meets the ship at anchorage. With no bunker-dedicated jetty among the facilities described, expect the stem afloat by barge; fix the quantity and delivery window with the supplier and agent well ahead, since size and timing hinge on barge availability rather than on a posted schedule.
- No source read publishes the entrance-channel depth, anchorage holding ground, tidal range or maximum draught for Dar es Salaam.
- No maximum bunker stem size or advance-notice requirement is published.
- Whether bunkers may also be taken at the Kurasini Oil Jetty is not stated — it is described only for liquid-bulk cargo.
Ask the supplier to confirm these before you fix a stem on them.
