Two trucks delivered around 50 mt of marine gasoil (MGO) to an undisclosed vessel at the port.

It carried out the “physical delivery through its own infrastructure, working with reliable local partners in Constanța,” a company spokesperson told ENGINE.

Alkagesta intends to “continue and develop regular truck-to-vessel marine fuel supply operations” in Constanța, the spokesperson added.

The operation also marks a step towards expanding the company's physical bunkering capabilities in Romania and the wider Black Sea region.
