What a Vessel or Shipping Line Gets
Bunkering Scheduled to the Port Call
The supply is built around the vessel’s berthing or anchorage window at Tema — a missed bunkering window costs a ship demurrage, so the delivery is planned to the port call, not improvised.
Priced Against the NPA Build-Up
Quoted transparently, indexed to the National Petroleum Authority price build-up plus contract-specific factors — so a shipping line or agent sees what moves the figure, not a number with no basis.
Chain-of-Custody Bunkering
Marine fuel delivered to the agreed specification with a documented bunker delivery note — quantity and quality are traceable, and what is ordered is what is pumped.
Built for Repeat Port Calls
A single point of contact for the line, agent, or port operator — a supply relationship built for continuity across repeat calls, not a one-off transaction.

How Bunkering Works
- Vessel & bunkering requirement — vessel, grade (typically MGO), quantity, berth, port-call window.
- Quote against the NPA price build-up — transparent, indexed, contract-specific.
- Scheduling to the port call — planned to the berthing, not improvised.
- Bunkering & chain-of-custody — right spec, bunker delivery note, traceable.
- Account management & repeat calls — one point of contact, built to last.
What It Costs — Honestly
Bunker fuel is quoted per supply, not sold at a fixed published rate. Fuel has been deregulated in Ghana since 2015, and bunker pricing is indexed to the NPA price build-up (which moves with the twice-monthly pricing windows) plus your contract-specific factors — quantity, grade, and scheduling against the port call. Any supplier quoting a flat per-tonne or per-litre bunker rate before knowing the vessel and schedule is guessing. We quote transparently against the build-up, so a shipping line sees what drives the figure.
Regulated & To Standard
- Downstream petroleum supply in Ghana — including marine bunkering — is regulated by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) under the NPA Act, 2005 (Act 691) — we operate within that framework and describe only the licences and certifications we actually hold
- Marine fuel supplied to the ECOWAS low-sulphur (50 ppm) standard and Ghana Standards Authority specifications (GS 140 / GS 141)
- Established 1988 — a real downstream operator with marine and industrial supply experience, not a broker
Marine Bunkering at Tema and Beyond
We bunker vessels and supply port operations at Tema, Ghana’s principal commercial port, and serve marine and industrial accounts across Accra, Takoradi, and the Lomé corridor in Togo — where vessels calling along the Gulf of Guinea need bunker supply scheduled and traceable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does marine bunker fuel cost at Tema? Quoted per supply, indexed to the NPA price build-up (fuel is deregulated since 2015) plus contract-specific factors — there is no fixed published bunker rate, and any supplier quoting one before knowing the vessel and schedule is guessing.
What marine fuel grades do you bunker? Marine gasoil (MGO) and related marine fuels to the agreed specification — grade, quantity, and bunker delivery note confirmed against the vessel’s requirement and port-call window.
Can you schedule bunkering to a port call? Scheduling is the whole point — a vessel waiting for fuel burns demurrage. We build the supply around the ship’s port call at Tema and manage it through one point of contact.
Are you licensed to supply marine fuel in Ghana? Downstream supply, including bunkering, is regulated by the NPA under Act 691; we operate within that framework, supply to ECOWAS 50 ppm and GSA standards, and describe only the licences we actually hold.
