Peninsula: More than Marine Fuel and Yacht Bunkering

7 March 2024

More than Marine Fuel and Yacht Bunkering

Throughout our years within the marine industry, Peninsula has grown to become the leading independent marine fuel supplier. Our yacht bunkering and fuel delivery services have taken us worldwide and allowed us to build our well-regarded reputation within the superyacht industry. With our knowledge of marine fuel, we are familiar with the complexities of superyacht engines. Our fuels are meticulously tested to ensure they will not affect your engine longevity and our incredible team is well-versed in all that is needed to make your superyacht engine run smoothly; which is why the products and services on offer at Peninsula go beyond yacht fuel bunkering and delivery.

Marine Lube

Designed to prolong the lifespan of your engines, generators, hydraulics or compressors, we stock a range of industry-standard high-grade lubricants. When working with engines we lean towards using Shell lubricant as it has been designed specifically for heavy-duty diesel engines. Shell oils are formulated to provide protection against wear, deposits, and oxidation, while also offering enhanced performance in terms of engine cleanliness, fuel efficiency, and overall durability. The Rimula product line includes various formulations tailored to different engine types, operating conditions, and performance requirements.

When working with hydraulic systems, such as cranes or swim platforms, we Supply all the major brands as required. These oils are designed for specific use in hydraulic systems and are formulated to provide lubrication, corrosion protection, and heat dissipation within hydraulic systems, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. We use these oils as they come in different viscosity grades and formulations to suit the specific requirements of different hydraulic systems; while typically offering excellent oxidative stability, thermal stability, and anti-wear properties, helping to extend the service life of hydraulic equipment and minimise downtime.

When ordering your marine lube through Peninsula, we will handle everything; including any required pumping; allowing the product to be delivered straight into your superyacht tank if required. If you are bunkering a yacht with us, we can streamline the delivery of your marine lube alongside your superyacht fuel.

Urea

As part of our drive towards a more sustainable yachting industry, we also supply urea. Marine Urea or Aqueous Urea Solution (AUS), also referred to as AdBlue (particularly in the automotive field), serves as a vital reagent for diminishing Nitrogen Oxide (NO2) emissions. Within contemporary mid-range yachts, Urea finds its application within the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, guaranteeing compliance with Tier III emission regulations. At Peninsula, we favour AUS 40/38 due to its precise formulation to effectively reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in diesel engines, including those found in superyachts.

Urea is typically supplied in barrels, and we’re pleased to offer additional services such as arranging for onboard pumping of the product. This service can be supplied alongside standard yacht bunkering.

SulNox

SulNOx Fuel Fuser is a groundbreaking technology developed by the SulNOx Group that offers significant benefits for superyachts and other marine vessels. This innovative solution involves emulsifying water with fuel, creating a stable water-in-fuel emulsion that can be easily used in diesel engines. By emulsifying water with fuel, it reduces harmful emissions such as nitrogen oxide (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and carbon dioxide (CO2), aligning with sustainability goals while also reducing staining on the vessel and oil residue on the water. This process also enhances combustion efficiency, leading to improved fuel economy and smoother engine operation. Utilising SulNOx Fuel Fuser demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability, making it a valuable solution for superyachts aiming to reduce their environmental impact while optimising performance and efficiency. Additionally, SulNOx Fuel Fuser’s emulsification process significantly reduces bacteria infestation in the water content of gas oil, helping to maintain fuel quality and prevent microbial contamination in marine engines.

SulNox Fuel Fuser can be combined with marine fuel deliveries while your superyacht is bunkered with Peninsula at our Gibraltar fuel terminal.

All of the products available from Peninsula are chosen due to their high quality and consistent results. However, in the unlikely event that there is ever a problem, we have an expert team available 365 days a year that is poised to assist you right away. If you would like to learn any more about the products we have mentioned then please do not hesitate to get in contact and we would be more than happy to help.
