Why the Maldives

Your vessel may already be passing.

The Maldives sits alongside major Indian Ocean traffic flows connecting the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Africa. For vessels already crossing the region, a bunker call in the Malé area may be worth considering depending on route, remaining fuel, schedule and required quantity.

Whether a bunker call in the Malé area is worth making depends on your route, your remaining fuel and your schedule. That is a short conversation, and we would rather have it than have you assume the answer.

Malé as a bunker stop

  • Zero-Degree Channel East–west traffic through the central Maldives
  • Malé Connected to Colombo, Tuticorin, Sohar, Jebel Ali and Mombasa

Common questions

Before you send the enquiry.

What is DMA MGO, and why should I specify the grade?

Bunker Fuel Maldives handles enquiries for DMA marine gas oil, not DMX. “MGO” alone can be ambiguous, so state the required grade and specification in the enquiry.

What does a bunker COQ or COA show?

A certificate records test results for a particular batch, such as density, flashpoint, sulphur, viscosity and cold-flow properties. Results can vary between batches, so a historical certificate is an example and does not predict the next delivery.

What flashpoint should I check before bunkering?

SOLAS II-2/4.2.1 generally prohibits using oil fuel with a flashpoint of less than 60°C, subject to the regulation’s exceptions. Review the applicable specification and documentation for the actual fuel.

How do I convert metric tonnes of fuel to litres?

Use litres = (MT × 1,000) ÷ density in kg/L. Density in g/mL has the same numerical value as kg/L; use the density reference temperature shown on the applicable certificate or specification.
