This year, while our competitors sat idle, Harvey opened the first dual fuel dock in America, where we sell both diesel and Liquefied Natural Gas for marine use. We converted one of our 300 foot Platform Supply Vessels to a 900,000 gallon diesel fuel delivery vessel. With this vessel, we will deliver fuel to tankers and container ships offshore, platforms, drilling rigs, and other vessels supporting oil & gas exploration and production in the U.S. We will also be delivering fuel to our own vessels working in Mexico.

In this market, we will offer a larger vessel with newer equipment in order to provide a safer service, all at the price of the smaller vessels presently doing this work.”
