Mukran Port, Hoyer to Open Fully Automated Bunker Station for Ships
Germany s Mukran Port and energy supplier Hoyer have revealed plans to introduce a fully automated bunker station for service vessels at the port.
As informed, a tank facility for marine gas oil (MGO) will be built by the end of 2019. The construction is scheduled to begin at berth 1, in the southern part of the Mukran Port, in September.
The bunker station will be available around the clock for bunkering of vessels which operate in the Baltic Sea.
Specifically, the refueling process at berth 1 will be automated and made possible by card.
According to Mukran Port and Hoyer, the shipping industry in general, as well as offshore wind farm supply vessels and tugs would benefit from the new bunker station.
It will be possible to refuel ships at night without additional waiting time. The new station will replace the existing land-side mobile refueling from 2020 and will be equipped with a storage chamber with a capacity of 100 cbm.
"Thanks to the high shipping demand in Mukran, we will strengthen our refueling network in Germany and in the Baltic Sea Region with this investment," Thomas Hoyer, managing partner of Wilhelm Hoyer, explained, adding that the port and the energy supplier will also deepen their long-term cooperation.
Located on Germany s island of Rugen, the deepwater port encompasses ferry, rail, multipurpose and offshore terminals on a total area of around 430 hectares.Posted On:8-Aug-2019

Repaired Maersk Honam Returns to Service as Maersk Halifax
The former Maersk Honam has been rebuilt at South Korea s Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard and was delivered to its owner as Maersk Halifax on August 1.
The rebuilt and renamed boxship started its maiden voyage a week later, departing Qingdao, China, en route to Busan, South Korea, on August 7, according to Danish shipping major Maersk.
Maersk Honam was hit by a major fire in March 2018 and was towed to Jebel Ali for the discharge of the remaining cargo and clearance of debris.
The vessel had to be cut into two sections during the repairs. In February, the sound section of the former Maersk Honam was successfully loaded aboard a heavy-lift vessel on open waters outside Dubai (UAE) and transported to Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard in South Korea.
At the shipyard, the sound section was joined with a newly-built forward section.
The former forward section is being recycled in Dubai, in accordance with Maersk s Responsible Ship Recycling Standards (RSRS), the company said.
Maersk Halifax is one of eleven H-class vessels in the Maersk fleet. They have a nominal capacity of 15,226 TEU and are deployed on the Asia-Mediterranean trade.Posted On:8-Aug-2019
