Taking fuel at Newcastle
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkers in Newcastle are delivered by barge or by approved vessel; Clipper Oil offers supply in-port and at anchorage. At NCIG berths, bunkering from the wharf is not permitted — barge/starboard-side delivery requires written NCIG and Port approval and must not delay loading or departure. At Newcastle Bulk Terminal berths, bunkering is permitted but cargo operations take precedence, and the Bulk Terminal Shipping must be notified before berthing. Harbour Master approval is required for any bunkering activity, submitted via the harbour management system before commencement. There are no designated anchorages off Newcastle; anchoring is not recommended (poor holding ground), but if a Master anchors, it must be south of 33°00.00'S, at least 3nm from the coast, with VTS notified on VHF Ch 09. Weather (swell, wind, visibility) may restrict port movements. Newcastle is not in an ECA; suppliers list MGO, HSFO, VLSFO and ULSD as common grades.

Indicative only. Typical stem time here is about 8 hours alongside.
