The 14-year-old bunker vessel, JC Trader, will double its supply capacity in the port.

In July 2023, WFS partnered with Jamaica-based Scott Petroleum to provide bunker fuel in the Port of Kingston. The duo already has a bunker barge, Ancon Trader, currently operating in Kingston, according to data from fuel labs ENGINE has access to. 

They offer VLSFO, LSMGO and HSFO at the port’s inner and outer anchorage areas.
