GAC Investment cc intends on obtaining an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for their proposed offshore bunkering operations on Namibian marine waters using a bunker supply vessel equipped for Ship-to-Ship (STS) fuel transfers. The operation will include importing VLSFO and MGO into Namibian ocean waters and performing refueling activities for international commercial & local vessels at anchorage. The fuel will be pumped from the bunker tanker to the client vessels using approved transfer hoses, fenders, and spill response equipment, complying with IMO and MARPOL standards. The proposed offshore fuel bunkering operations will be conducted within the Namibian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), particulalry near Walvis Bay and Lüderitz designated anchorage points.
