Like the rest of our commercial fuels such as diesel and gasoline, you can be assured that all of our marine fuels are of the highest quality.
Marine fuels encompass every grade of Low Sulphur Fuel Oil, Bunker Fuel Oil, Intermediate Bunker Fuels, Marine Fuel Oil, Thin Fuel Oil, Marine Diesel Oil, Light Marine DieselFuel, GasOil, and other varieties such as Marine Gasoil and marine lubricants.
These are a blend of distillates, the evaporated components of crude oil during the distilling process, that are condensed from gas state to liquid state.
Marine Fuels can have a great deal in common with other commercial crude oil-based fuels. For example, Marine Gasoil is generally equivalent to diesel, except it boasts a higher density and more straightforward storage requirements. MGO does not need heated warehouse space, meaning both existing vessels’ operational expenses as well as new boats’ setup costs can be significantly reduced.
The Finger Lakes economy is quite diverse, and tourism is a major part of it. Visitors bring more than $3 billion into the area’s economy each year between spending and the jobs supported by tourism. Boating plays no small part in that.
People who own second homes along one of our lakes, or who rent one, often have boats, and count on our customers to have the marine fuels their boats need. There is also a growing boat chartering industry, some inspired by services such as AirBnB and VRBO.
Fishing draws people to the Finger Lakes from nearby towns and from far away, as anglers look to catch some of the more popular species inhabiting the lakes, including trout and salmon.
