Bunkering

Meanings of the Term "Bunkering"

The term "bunkering" broadly relates to storage of petroleum products in tanks (among other, disparate meanings.) The precise meaning can be further specialized depending on context. Perhaps the most common, more specialized usage refers to the practice and business of refueling ships. Bunkering operations are located at seaports, and they include the storage of "bunker" (ship) fuels and the provision of the fuel to vessels. [1]

Alternatively the term "bunkering" may apply to the shipboard logistics of loading fuel and distributing it among available "bunkers" (on-board fuel tanks.)[2]
