Caltex introduces new fuel supply chain for Tasmania

Caltex is now the main supplier of petroleum products to Tasmanian service stations in Australia, replacing Shell. The company has successfully introduced new shipping arrangements and widened customer choice of fuels at Caltex service stations. Caltex’s Alexander Spirit became the first ship from the company to visit the state in two decades, said Caltex General Manager Supply and Distribution Ken James. “We believe the combination of this modern petroleum product tanker with fuel production from Caltex’s two Australian refineries will usher in a new era of reliability and safety for Tasmanian fuel supply,” said James. Caltex will be delivering about 34 million liters of fuel every three weeks into Hobart and Devonport. (July 9, 2010)
