The merchant marine fleet of Turkmenistan offers foreign ships calling at the international port of Turkmenbashi the service of bunkering / refueling foreign ships with diesel fuel not only at the berths, but also directly in the roadstead, reports Orient.tm.
Refueling at a relative distance from the coast, without mooring, significantly saves travel time, allowing ships to follow the assigned route after bunkering.
Bunkering is carried out by the Serpay tugboat, which, in addition to fuel, can supply foreign ships with drinking water and food, according to the website of the national carrier CJSC Sea Merchant Fleet.
Turkmenistan is one of the five states that have seaports in the Caspian Sea. Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Iran also have seaports in the Caspian. The port of Turkmenbashi is the largest port of Turkmenistan.
