Vessel services
Marine fuel and lubricant supply for vessels in Ghana, arranged with licensed suppliers.
BlueHarbor coordinates enquiries for marine fuels and lubricants — availability, specification, delivery arrangements and documentation — with licensed suppliers, so owners and masters deal with one point of contact.
What we coordinate
Bunkering, marine fuels & lubricants
- 01Marine fuels
Marine gas oil and other grades, subject to availability. Grade, quantity and delivery window are confirmed per enquiry.
- 02Marine lubricants
Engine, system and cylinder oils and greases in the quantities and packaging the vessel specifies.
- 03Specification and quality
Supply against the specification you request, for example an ISO 8217 grade, with the supplier's quality documentation.
- 04Delivery arrangements
Delivery by the licensed supplier's own equipment as permitted at the berth or anchorage, with timing coordinated between the vessel, its agent and the supplier.
- 05Documentation
The bunker delivery note and a representative sealed sample, as international rules require for marine fuel oil, passed to the master at delivery.
A regulated activity, quoted per enquiry
Supplying marine fuel is a licensed activity and is carried out by licensed suppliers. Availability and prices change with the market, the grade, the quantity and the port, so BlueHarbor quotes each enquiry in writing and publishes no price list.
Some of these services are licensed or permitted activities. Where BlueHarbor does not itself hold the licence for an activity, we say so in the quotation, name the licensed party that will carry it out, and stay your single point of coordination. We never present a partner's licence as our own.
How it works
From first message to close-out
- 01
Send the vessel details
Vessel name and IMO number, ship type, port and expected arrival and departure, and what you need. A short message is enough to begin.
- 02
We confirm scope, permits and parties
We agree the scope with you, identify the permits and approvals involved, and name the licensed party that will carry out any licensed activity.
- 03
You receive a written quotation
The quotation states what is included, who performs each part, and what documentation you will receive. Prices are quoted per enquiry; we publish no price list.
- 04
We coordinate and report
We coordinate the vessel, the agent, the licensed partners and the surveyor, keep you informed as the work proceeds, and hand over the records at close-out.
Our base is Tema, on Ghana's Gulf of Guinea coast. We take enquiries for vessels calling at Ghanaian ports and, on request, elsewhere in West Africa. Whether we can serve a particular port, and on what dates, is confirmed in writing in the quotation.
Frequently asked
- Can BlueHarbor arrange bunkers for my vessel in Ghana?
- Yes. BlueHarbor arranges marine fuel and lubricant supply through licensed suppliers. The supplier holds the licence and delivers; BlueHarbor coordinates the enquiry, specification, delivery timing and documentation.
- Which fuel grades can be supplied?
- Availability depends on the port, the supplier and the date. State the grade you need, for example marine gas oil or a fuel oil grade to ISO 8217, with your enquiry, and BlueHarbor will confirm what can be supplied.
- What documents come with a fuel delivery?
- A bunker delivery note and a representative, sealed sample, as international rules require for marine fuel oil. BlueHarbor asks the supplier to provide both and ensures they reach the master.
- How are prices set?
- Prices vary with the market, the grade, the quantity and the port, so each enquiry is quoted individually in writing. BlueHarbor does not publish a price list.
- Does BlueHarbor hold a bunkering licence?
- No. Bunkering is arranged with licensed suppliers, and the quotation names the licensed party that will supply and deliver. BlueHarbor does not present a supplier's licence as its own.
