Gwadar Emerges as Major Marine Fuel Hub with Second Successful Bunkering Operation

Pakistan has made significant strides in establishing itself as a major player in the global maritime trade by successfully completing its second marine bunkering operation at Gwadar Port.

The operation, carried out by Vitol through its bunker barge Marine Ista, supplied IMO-compliant Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) produced by Cnergyico PK Limited to an LNG carrier.

This achievement marks a milestone in the development of Gwadar Port as a new marine fuel supply destination for international shipping and reinforces Pakistan's ability to offer internationally compliant marine fuel services to vessels calling at its ports.

The success of this operation, coming just days after the inaugural one, demonstrates that marine bunkering at Gwadar has transitioned from a landmark achievement to an operational capability.
