WHAT ARE BUNKER SERVICES?
The term “bunkering” originated in the old-days when steamships, would need to store coal on board in bunkers. It now refers to the supply of fuel to vessels. Our bunker vessels deliver fuel, on behalf of oil majors, to other vessels. We position our ships alongside receiving vessels and discharge fuel into the receiving vessel via a hydraulically operated cargo flow boom and flexible hoses. In layman terms, we are the petrol attendants of the sea.
WE COMMIT TO:
QUICK FACTS
Linsen Nambi Bunker Services own and operate three vessels. Two are in the port of Durban, under contract to oil major BP & one vessel in Cape Town under contract to Astron Energy.

The three vessels are of modern design, two were built in 2008 & one in 2010. Each vessel is capable of carrying approximately 4500 tons of product (HFO / Gas Oil / Diesel) separately segregated and features double hulls, redundant propulsion systems, closed loading and radar cargo measurement. The vessels have been designed to meet & exceed all the oil majors safety & operational requirements.
The vessels are classed by an international classification society & comply with all SAMSA & IMO certification. The vessel specifications and its operation have passed the stringent annual Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) set by the oil majors, BP, Astron Energy & Shell, as well as annual class inspections. We are particularly proud of this because our vessels are registered in South Africa & operated by South African crew & Masters.
