LUBRICANTS GROWTH IN BUNKERING HUMBER FOCUS


According to Graham Williamson, Director of lubricants and technical products, the growing number of crew transfer vessels (CTV) on the Humber is beginning to drive demand for marine lubricants across the region.


Offshore turbines will also need lubricants, Mr Williamson said, as big-name manufacturers seek to assemble turbines close to the Humber’s port infrastructure. “Despite being a local company, our strategic partnership with Q8 Oils means we can supply a full range of top quality lubricants,” he said.


100 YEARS EXPERIENCE


“We believe lubricants for the renewables industry is a growth area for the business because ships and turbines are complex pieces of machinery. As a local company with more than a century’s experience working on the Humber, we have the knowledge and contacts to respond very quickly to all enquiries.


“It is this knowledge and experience, along with the other services we provide, that will help put us at the heart of the offshore revolution which is taking place around the estuary.”


The upturn in work across the renewables sector is also driving growth in Maritime Bunkering Ltd, J.R. Rix and Son’s ship fuelling business.


The firm took delivery of its most advanced vessel, the MT Lerrix, last year which is now serving both long-established traders and ship owners, in traditional industries and the offshore market.


CUTTING EDGE SPECIFICATION The £6m steel ship is powered by two 950 kW Cummins engines and has a range of 1200 nautical miles. It can carry up to 500 cubes of fuel oil plus 600 cubes of gas oil and is so advanced it can blend fuel to a customer’s requirements on board and then heat it to facilitate efficient pumping.


Director Nikki Jessop described the vessel as ‘cutting edge’. She said: “It extends our services on the Humber and the East Coast significantly and is ideally positioned to deliver all grades of marine fuel and lubricants to wind farm construction vessels operation offshore, on the ECUK.”
