Bunker Ship

EBDG designed this highly versatile, self-propelled bunker ship for the transportation and delivery of fuel and lube oil for Maxum Petroleum. The 150,000-gallon bunker ship, GLOBAL PROVIDER was built at Jesse Co., a Washington State fabricator. GLOBAL PROVIDER is designed to move segregated products in a single trip, without cross-contamination. This vessel was designed, built and operates in the Pacific Northwest.

EBDG’s Scope

EBDG's project scope included concept and contract design, vessel renderings, and regulatory support to obtain United States Coast Guard (USCG) approval and loadline certification from American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). During construction, EBDG continued to support the client with detail design, production support services and with weekly shipyard visits to ensure design plans were translated into a quality-built vessel that would meet and exceed the client's operational requirements.
