Vessel Bunkering in Thailand’s Territorial Waters: Fast and High-Quality Solutions for Efficient Shipping

Thanks to its strategic location at the heart of Southeast Asia and proximity to key international shipping routes, Thailand serves as a vital hub for global trade. With 3,219 kilometers of coastline bordering the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, Thailand offers convenient and well-developed ports capable of servicing a wide range of vessels. Our company provides high-quality bunkering services in Thailand’s territorial waters, ensuring reliable and cost-effective fuel supply for your fleet, whether for port or offshore operations.

Key Bunkering Ports and Areas in Thailand’s Waters

Thailand is renowned for its ports with excellent infrastructure and high logistics standards. Bunkering operations are available in both major ports and offshore areas, providing greater flexibility and convenience for shipping companies. Here are the main ports and areas for bunkering in Thailand:

• Laem Chabang Port – The largest and most developed port in Thailand, located in the Gulf of Thailand. Handling around 8 million TEUs annually, Laem Chabang is a key hub for international trade. The port offers optimal conditions for vessel bunkering due to its developed infrastructure and direct access to major shipping routes.
• Bangkok Port (Khlong Toei) – As Thailand’s main commercial and industrial center, Bangkok Port provides convenient bunkering for vessels traveling inland. Bunkering here is ideal for vessels operating on national and regional routes, making it a critical point for fuel supply along trade routes between Thailand and neighboring countries.
• Songkhla Port – One of the largest ports in southern Thailand, serving vessels passing through the Gulf of Thailand. It is an important logistics hub and offers convenient bunkering for both domestic and international ships operating in this part of Southeast Asia.
• Andaman Sea (Phuket and Krabi) – Due to their strategic location in the Andaman Sea, Phuket and Krabi are key points for refueling vessels heading through the Indian Ocean. Offshore bunkering in these waters offers an excellent alternative to port calls, reducing downtime and costs.

Advantages of Bunkering in Thai Waters

1. Convenient Access to Key Shipping Routes – Thailand lies at the intersection of major international routes connecting East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Thailand’s ports and offshore zones allow for minimal route deviations, providing efficient refueling at key crossings.
2. Developed Port Infrastructure – Modern bunkering terminals at Laem Chabang, Bangkok, and Songkhla ports provide high service standards and reduce refueling times to 4–5 hours, helping to maintain schedules and minimize downtime.
3. Cost-Effectiveness – Thanks to government support and low operational costs, bunkering prices in Thailand remain competitive compared to other regions. This helps shipowners reduce fuel costs while maintaining high-quality services.

Fuel Types and Compliance with International Standards

Our company offers a wide range of marine fuels that meet all modern requirements and regulations. We understand the importance of using eco-friendly fuels and ensure compliance with international standards:

• Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (LSFO) – With sulfur content below 0.5%, in line with MARPOL VI regulations, helping vessels reduce emissions and meet environmental standards.
• Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) – For vessels equipped with scrubbers, allowing cost-effective use of cheaper fuel without violating international environmental standards.
• Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) – For vessels operating on this environmentally friendly fuel.

We also offer LNG refueling services, especially in major ports such as Laem Chabang.
