Professional Vessel Bunkering Services 

Taylor Oil Company specializes in Truck to Ship (TTS) bunkering services, also known as over-the-water fueling services or marine fueling services. This efficient method of vessel bunkering delivers fuel directly from our specialized tank trucks to your vessel, eliminating the need to navigate to fuel docks or worry about dock availability.

As one of the few Coast Guard-approved companies providing TTS bunkering services from Boston to Washington DC, we serve the entire Eastern Seaboard with reliable, professional fuel delivery. Our truck-to-ship method allows us to reach vessels at marinas, anchorages, and waterfront locations where traditional bunkering barges cannot operate efficiently.

With many years of experience in marine fuel delivery, Taylor Oil Company has built a reputation for dependable service among commercial fleet operators, charter companies, and recreational boaters throughout Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, Connecticut, and beyond. Our TTS bunkering services provide the flexibility and convenience that modern vessel operations demand.

Whether you need scheduled fuel delivery for your fleet or emergency fueling services, our Coast Guard-certified operations ensure safe, compliant fuel transfer while you remain comfortably at your berth. We bring premium marine diesel, gasoline, and specialty fuels directly to your location, saving you time, money, and the hassle of traditional fuel dock logistics.

The Process

Our truck-to-ship (TTS) bunkering process is designed for maximum efficiency and safety.
