Owned by Seafuels, the Awanuia provides a safe, reliable and high quality refuelling service to cruise, general cargo and container ships when visiting Auckland. The Seafuels partnership with BP Marine provides ongoing certainty of Marpol compliant fuel supply for vessels when calling Port of Auckland.
The Awanuia collects VLSFO and MGO from the Marsden Point Oil Refinery through a purpose-built berth, transferring it directly into commercial ships at their berths at the Waitematā seaport.
