Chemoil Adani keen to develop bunkering facility at Chennai port.

Chemoil Adani, a joint venture between Chemoil and Adani, has shown interest in developing a bunkering facility at Chennai port. The Indian Oil Corporation is the only supplier of bunker - fuel oil used aboard ships - in Chennai.

Mundra, Colombo and Kochi ports have developed bunkering facility. The Kandla port has also taken initiative to improve this facility.

Chennai is an ideal location along the east coast to develop a bunkering facility, said a board member of the Chennai Port Trust. Chemoil recently gave a presentation on setting up such a facility in Chennai, and the board was keen to pursue it, he said.
