We used to be unique. (Here's how we attracted competition.) It's been six years now since Refineria Panama introduced bunkering by barge. (Aunique service that saves ship own-ers as much as $1.00 a ton on bunkering bills.) And it worked out so well that over 25% of the total bunker market at Panama is now supplied by barge. Our success has recently at-tracted competition. But we're far ahead. Why? We have something our competitors don't: experience. And, because of our experi-ence, we have a lot more to offer: Needlesstosay, we offer ex-perienced personnel. But we alsohavethe most equipment. (Six permanent units, with others available.) Which means we can han-dle larger volumes and more deliveries per day. (In fact, our capacity is more than triple the next largest barge supplier's.) And, when you stem with Refineria Panama, we see to it thatyougetthepropertransit position through the Canal. Because, while you're bunker-ing, we keep your agent in-formed of your completion time. What else do we offer? Deballasting service. Pota-ble water. Plus quick delivery of all grades of marine fuel. Be-cause it comes straight from our refinery. (The only refin-ery in Panama.) What's more, we give you 24-hour service. At each end of the Canal. On the Atlantic side, we have barges at Colon Harbor and Sea Buoy. On the Pacific side, offshorefromTaboga Island, just seaward from Balboa. In short, when you come to Refineria Panama, you'll find out that there's more to bunk-ering by bargethan bunkering by barge. It took us six years to give you all these extras. You might say we're six years ahead of anybody else. Bunker with Refineria PanamaS. A.
