Prax expands its bunker fleet with Fortuna II tanker addition

UK oil refiner Prax Group is expanding its bunkering fleet with the acquisition of the 2020-built product tanker Fortuna II.

The 68 m long Fortuna II can carry very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and marine gas oil, and is able to supply bunkering services in ports right along the UK coast and in northwestern Europe.

The 1,700 dwt Turkish-built vessel joins the company’s Harvest Energy Marine unit and follows on from the 2007-built Fortuna I, announced in January this year, which operates between Prax Lindsey Oil Refinery in Immingham, in the northeast of the UK, and Prax Terminals Belgium, in the port of Zeebrugge.
