Fuel Bunkering
FUEL BUNKERING – EUROPEAN-STANDARD QUALITY
Douglas Yacht Services works with Martinique’s leading fuel supplier to provide high-quality, MARPOL-compliant diesel for visiting yachts. Thanks to the island’s local distillation refinery — which produces fuel without cracking — the diesel available in Martinique is exceptionally stable and meets strict European specifications. This ensures clean combustion, optimal engine performance, and reliability for both cruising yachts and large superyachts.
