ESSO ADDS ANOTHER BARGE
ESSO's presence and facilities in the Singapore harbour area were further enhanced by the addition of a second bunkering barge recently.
The additional “TIMUR.5”, will help relieve the “ESSO JURONG“ in providing round the clock bunkering services to coastal and international vessels calling here.
The construction of our refinery at Pulau Ayer Chawan places a great demand on the “Esso Jurong".
Besides providing oil to run the machines needed to construct the refinery, the barge also supplies fuel for the dredges, pipe-laying vessels. etc. Recent years also saw an increase in supply vessels that service the oil exploration teams in the neighbourhood regions. To cater to all these it was found that an additional barge was
needed in order to maintain an efficient service.
The new barge is capable of carrying and discharging two types of fuel simultaneously with a total capacity of I000 tons. It is also fitted with increased capacity pumps so as to reduce the bunkering time.
