The term 'bunkering' is used to describe the supply of\u00a0 fuel to fellow vessels, and originates from a time when steam ships stored coal onboard in 'bunkers'.<\/p> Our job at Whitakers is to deliver fuel to other vessels on behalf of major oil companies. This can happen while the receiving ship is sitting on a berth in the dock or offshore at anchor, depending on the requirements of the customer and of course external factors such as weather.<\/p> Bunkering another ship is a complex operation, and requires high skill levels from both onboard crew and also the management and support staff working ashore.<\/p> Safety is our key priority and we achieve this through rigorous training, excellent teamwork and constant reviewing of policies and procedures to ensure our service is of the highest quality.<\/p> We operate a fleet of 9 sea going tankers, in UK and European waters. Over the past 18 years we have renewed our entire tanker fleet, ensuring we stay constantly ahead of the market in operating only state of the art, double hulled vessels, all with the capacity to blend fuel to individual customer requirements. We have offices in the north and south of the UK to ensure direct, prompt and 'hands-on' management of all areas within the company, including a 24hr emergency call out facility.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whitakertankers.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/52"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whitakertankers.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whitakertankers.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.whitakertankers.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.whitakertankers.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52"}],"version-history":[{"count":50,"href":"https:\/\/www.whitakertankers.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/52\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1242,"href":"https:\/\/www.whitakertankers.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/52\/revisions\/1242"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.whitakertankers.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.whitakertankers.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}24\/7 EMERGENCY CONTACT<\/span><\/h1>\n
