Camper & Nicholsons Port Louis Marina has announced a partnership with Sol Petroleum and the arrival of a new Diesel and Gasoline Fuel Service at Port Louis Marina, Grenada with an anticipated opening in early March.
The new in-berth fuelling system will allow superyachts to be fuelled at their dock, while there will also be dedicated docks for cruising and charter yachts and a separate station for gasoline.
The announcement was made during Grenada Sailing Week, the pinnacle sailing and yachting event in the Southern Caribbean with participants having travelled from UK, USA and several Caribbean Islands to take part. Furthermore, this is the height of the Caribbean Regatta Season with Port Louis Marina host to an additional 60+ yachts from the Viking Explorers, Oyster World Rally and RORC Transatlantic, as well as supporting the Spice Island Bill Fish Tournament, which sees around 35+ Sports Fishing yachts come to Grenada.
Zara Tremlett, General Manager at Port Louis Marina, said, “We continue to invest heavily in the marina services and facilities at our marina. We have seen continued growth and greater demand for fuelling needs from our existing berth holders and visiting yachts. The popularity of Grenada and her sister islands continues to soar, and we are delighted to be able to offer a new service to our yachts.”
Camper & Nicholsons Port Louis Marina is a prime Port of Call destination for those who have crossed the Atlantic and at the Southern end of the Windward Island chain, the need for quality (duty free) fuel facilities is paramount. The in-berth fuel system allows yachts seamless customer service and efficiency of time when fuelling.
General Manager, Zara Tremlett continued, “The five, in-berth, Diesel outlets will negate the need for noisy bunkering trucks and will allow superyachts booked for fuel to remain at their berths, enabling crew time to focus on other activities and minimal cover onboard for such operations. There will be a dedicated Diesel dock for charter and cruising yachts and a separate gasoline dock for tenders, dinghies and other needs. We are all very excited to see this much needed and new service coming to Port Louis Marina.”
