FAQ
What are the three types of bunkering?
The three main types of bunkering are ship-to-ship (STS), shore-to-ship, and truck-to-ship.
Ship-to-Ship Bunkering involves the transfer of fuel between two vessels moored alongside each other. This method is commonly used offshore and requires highly flexible and durable bunkering hoses to ensure safe and efficient transfer.
Shore-to-Ship Bunkering is performed at port, where fuel is pumped from an onshore terminal directly to the vessel. In this setup, bunkering hoses must meet strict safety standards due to the high flow rates and potential environmental risks.
Truck-to-Ship Bunkering uses fuel trucks dockside to deliver fuel via bunkering hoses to the ship. This method is ideal for smaller volumes or ports without permanent fueling infrastructure.
Each method demands robust, certified bunkering hose systems to handle various fuels such as marine diesel or heavy fuel oil, ensuring safety, efficiency, and environmental protection during marine fuel transfer operations.
What is a bunkering hose?
A bunkering hose is a specialised hose used for transferring fuel—such as marine diesel oil or heavy fuel oil—during ship-to-ship, shore-to-ship, or truck-to-ship operations. At Abdex, we proudly supply the Gates 400SD, a premium solution designed for demanding marine environments.
The Gates 400SD is a high-performance hose engineered with a nitrile rubber tube, synthetic fibre reinforcement, and a chloroprene rubber cover for exceptional oil resistance, flexibility, and durability. It’s ideal for fuel transfer under pressure and suction conditions and meets stringent international marine standards.
Whether you’re operating in a port or offshore, the Gates 400SD offers the reliability and performance needed to ensure safe and efficient bunkering operations—available through Abdex, your trusted partner in fluid transfer solutions.
