01 / Bunkering at Port Louis

At berth or at anchorage.

Bunkering in Mauritius is made easy with WD Associates Co Ltd, the first shipping agent in Port-Louis to provide a Quick Reference Guide for bunker trading. Our guide contains the most up-to-date and relevant information on bunker traders and bunkering in Port-Louis, ensuring you have all the information you need to make informed decisions. Bunkering is the process of taking fuel from either land-based pipelines or barges, and at Port-Louis, this can be done at berth or anchorage. We offer both services, with well-maintained pipelines for quay delivery and a diverse set of suppliers operating barges for anchorage services. For any additional information, please email us at info@wdasso.com.
