Why Use OPL Ship Supply Instead of a Port Call
Entering port only for supplies means pilotage, port dues, agency fees and often days of waiting. With OPL ship supply, the supplies come to the vessel:
- No berth or pilotage required for supply only
- Lower port costs and shorter voyage time
- Bunkers, lubricants and stores in one coordinated run
- Flexible timing that follows the vessel ETA
Safety comes first at sea. Every OPL transfer follows a pre-transfer checklist agreed with the vessel, including communication, mooring of the launch or barge, and transfer procedures in line with IMO maritime safety guidance.

FAQ – OPL Ship Supply Iran
What is OPL ship supply?
OPL (Outside Port Limits) ship supply means delivering provisions, stores, bunkers, lubricants and services to a vessel outside the official port limits – at an offshore position or anchorage – so the vessel does not need to enter port or take a berth.
Which OPL positions do you cover in Iran?
Our most frequent positions are OPL Larak and the waters off Bandar Abbas and Qeshm in the Strait of Hormuz, plus offshore positions off Bushehr, Assaluyeh, Kharg and Chabahar in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
Can you supply bunkers at OPL?
Yes. Bunkers are delivered at OPL by barge, together with lubricants, provisions and stores on the same run when required, with full BDN and MARPOL sample documentation.

We recommend 48–72 hours notice with the vessel ETA, position, requisition and agent details. Urgent OPL deliveries are coordinated 24/7 when weather and clearances allow.
