Taking fuel at Libreville
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunker fuel is available at Libreville (GALBV), Gabon, with suppliers advertising IFO 380 and Marine Gas Oil; fresh water and provisions are also obtainable (thefreight.net). The port is an open roadstead / medium-sized harbour on the Gabon Estuary with anchorage loading/offloading and good holding ground, so bunkering is typically arranged alongside or at anchorage — but the exact delivery method (barge, truck, or pipeline) and designated bunkering areas could not be confirmed from public sources and must be checked with the port authority (Office des Ports et Rades du Gabon / GPM Gabon) or the ship's agent. Pilotage is compulsory, tug assistance is available, and an ETA message is required in advance; tide and swell restrictions apply, so weather windows should be confirmed before scheduling a stem. Libreville is NOT within an Emission Control Area, so standard IMO global 0.50% sulphur fuel applies unless the vessel carries other contractual obligations. Time zone is UTC+1; confirm operating hours, especially for night or weekend deliveries.

Malta →That is Malta's price, not this port's, and the distance is a great-circle estimate rather than a routed passage. It is here because a benchmark you can see the distance to is more use than a blank space.
Indicative only. Typical stem time here is about 8 hours alongside.

Not an offer to sell — a firm price exists only once a supplier has quoted.
A lower headline price at another port is not automatically a saving. Deviation burns fuel and charter hire, and a bunker-only call costs port time.
