Precios del búnker en Cape Town

You have to come inside. Agents' port guides for Cape Town state that the bunker barge may deliver at any berth within the port but is not permitted to bunker vessels at the anchorage or off port limits; Transnet does not publish that restriction itself, so confirm it before planning anything outside. Taken at face value it means every stem costs a full port entry, pilotage inward and outward included. Inside, a UN logistics assessment of the port records 61 bunkering points, with fuel oil delivered by pipeline at most berths and gas oil delivered by barge, so the berth you are given largely determines how you are fuelled. AMSOL has run the barge side under a multi-year contract with Astron Energy since 2023, operating two bunker barges and four product tankers across its South African ports; road-tanker delivery inside the port is separately licensed, AB Shipping being one operator covering Cape Town. Marine gas oil, VLSFO, HSFO, ultra-low-sulphur diesel and lubricants are quoted here, but Astron is the only South African refiner still producing marine fuels and national bunker sales fell below 900,000 tonnes in 2024, so confirm the grade rather than assume it. Two constraints on timing: tankers are restricted to daylight berthing and unberthing, double-hull vessels sometimes excepted, and the summer south-easter brings vessel and container work in this exposed port to a sporadic standstill, with strong winds again through the Cape winter. Nobody publishes a maximum stem size, a notice period, or whether bunkering may proceed simultaneously with cargo.
