NMPT inks pact with IOC to provide bunkering facilities to ships.

The New Mangalore Port Trust signed an agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, Bengaluru for providing bunkering facilities to ships visiting the harbour and ships at anchorage/offshore at the port recently.

The NMPT had invited tenders from firms having experience in supplying bunker fuel for the work of providing bunkering facilities to the ships visiting harbour and ships at anchorage/offshore at New Mangalore Port for a period of five years. 

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd won the bid H1 by offering the highest minimum volume of bunker fuel offered by a firm. Bunkering is a facility to supply fuel for use by ships and includes shipboard logistics of loading fuel and distributing it among bunker tanks.
