Bunkering Guidance

The Port of Dover Bunkering Code of Practice provides guidance for the safe transfer of bunkers and was developed for the benefit of the ship bunkering industry in Dover comprising shipowners, operators, charterers, bunker suppliers and bunker tanker operators.

All ship owners, bunker suppliers and bunker craft operators whose vessels/road tankers are authorised to supply bunkers in the Port of Dover should ensure their employees adhere to the procedures and requirements stipulated in the code during every bunkering operation.
