An innovative and modern service that marks a revolution in the bunkering sector globally and will offering products with near zero emissions.
Refuelling is carried out by a ship, the “M/T Atlantic”, equipped with the latest safety equipment and manned by a specially trained crew, to ensure full respect of the environment throughout the refuelling process.
The service offered by Saras, marketed by subsidiary Saras Trading, is designed to meet the needs of ships arriving in and departing from the ports of Sarroch and Cagliari and to offer additional refuelling options, both at the quay and directly at sea, to the many ships sailing through the Strait of Sicily and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
