Taking fuel at Takoradi
Operational notes, from the port authority and the suppliers’ own published documents. Checked 2026-09-02.
Bunkering at Takoradi is dominated by Marine Gas Oil; IFO availability is limited and requires a minimum 7 days' notice, supplied by ship-to-ship transfer. MGO can be delivered ex-truck or via ship-to-ship transfer. GOIL PLC (Ocean Bunkering) supplies MGO and marine lubricants at the anchorage and offshore via STS, and serves Takoradi port and anchorage; ZEN Petroleum also supplies MGO at Takoradi, via onshore pipelines/trucks as well as anchorage and offshore delivery. The port operates 24/7 except Good Friday and Christmas Day, on a first-come, first-served basis, with two shifts (0730-1930 and 1930-0730); heavy lift operations are daylight-only but no specific daylight restriction on bunkering is stated. Ghana enforces the IMO 2020 global sulphur cap of 0.5% m/m — Takoradi is NOT in an ECA, so compliant VLSFO/MGO suffices. GOIL's MGO meets ISO 8217:2017 and is IMO 2020-compliant; ZEN's product adheres to ISO 8217-2010. Security at the anchorage is generally good with marine police and Ghana Navy patrols, though occasional theft occurs — keep proper lookout.

Las Palmas →That is Las Palmas'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.
