Astron Energy deploys tanker Pearl Kate to Cape Town to restore fuel supplies after SARS seized its vessel in 2023 over tax disputes.
South Africa’s Astron Energy is deploying the South African-flagged tanker Pearl Kate to Cape Town to restore offshore fuel supply capacity after the 2023 seizure of its vessel Essien by the South African Revenue Service over alleged tax and customs violations.
The Pearl Kate, chartered from AMSOL, marks Astron’s third such tanker and aims to ease disruptions caused by SARS’s enforcement actions that detained five vessels in Algoa Bay, affecting global shipping rerouted around the Red Sea.
AMSOL has resumed bunkering operations with a partnership agreement with Astron, while the company maintains that fuel distribution remains vital to its refinery’s operations.
