MADURO SHIPPING is the only ship agent in Curacao with a bonded warehouse within harbor territory. Part of our warehouse is specially geared for warehousing of marine chemicals, lubricant oils, all handled by professional personnel.
No excise goods such as liquor, beer, cigarettes, wines and goods of a dangerous or hazardous nature will be allowed storage
Maximum allowable time of storage is four months unless agreed upon a longer period of time between owner and lessor beforehand
In case of lengthy or prolonged storage, bills will be issued monthly. Non-payment of bills or violation of the conditions described under 2 could result in the auction of goods by the lessor whereby the lessor reserves the right, at that time, to retain the proceeds of sale.
Due to Customs and other requirements, notification by owner of redelivery out of storage is to be furnished to lessor at least 24 hours in advance. Requests for rush delivery within a period shorter than 24 hours will be attended to; however, in this case lessor should be held harmless of failure to deliver on time.
Although good care will be taken of the spares during storage, lessor cannot be held responsible for damages caused by, improper packaging and acts of God.
Whatever your project needs, from single domestic delivery to complex multi-shipments, let MADURO SHIPPING do the heavy lifting for you.

Benefit from our strong market relationships, trusted suppliers and reliable information providing your bunkers’ focal point for nominations and deliveries ex-pipe or offshore Aruba and Curaҫao.
Curaçao offers excellent bunker refueling facilities for a large variety of vessels at various wharves in the Port of Willemstad and outside the main harbor. Curoil N.V., the local distribution company, has developed and invested over the years in its infrastructure in order to make it a full service bunker facility. Projects included the renovation and expansion of their sophisticated control center, the construction of two barges for bunkering purposes, a blending system that complies to specific product requirements and can blend viscosities on request up to 30 cst with specifications that comply with RMG or RME.
Curoil also installed underground pipelines of approximately two kilometers connecting the tanks at the Motet Wharf to the Mega Pier and invested in oil spill recovery equipment as part of the environmental plan. The ex-pipe discharge rates vary between 350 to 400 metric tons per hour for fuel oil and between 200 and 400 metric tons per hour for diesel oil. At the Mega Pier the discharge rate for both gasoil and diesel oil are 150 cubic tons per hour.
The Mega Pier Cruise facility is located just 200 meters to the west of the St. Anna Bay inlet. The T-shaped pier extends approximately 100 meters into the sea. It is connected by underground pipelines to the main bunkering depot at the Motet Wharf in Willemstad. It was primarily constructed to accommodate the newest generation of mega cruise ships. Because of their size, these ships cannot pass under the Queen Juliana Bridge which spans the harbor. This pier can also accommodate other types of vessels up to 200,000 GT, and larger ones on request. However, the pier is also used to attract “bunker only” business, as it provides a safe berth outside the harbor, thus combining the benefits of safe ex-pipe deliveries with swift and low cost operations.
The main advantages of bunkering at the Mega Cruise Terminal are:
Ex-pipe availability hassle free
Ex-pipe bunker water availability without risk of contamination (high quality water)
Unlimited quantities available
Availability of all fuel grades
Marine fuel oil (MFO)
Regular and low vanadium grades
Marine Gasoil (MGO)
Marine Diesel Oil (MDO)
Marine lubricants
Competitive calling tariff
Opportunity for vessel to take on other items (spares, provisions, etc.) while bunkering
High pumping rates can be attained: swift operation, thereby reducing vessel “down time”
The Otrobanda wharves located in the St. Anna Bay harbor, en route to the Refinery, the Dry-Dock and the Container Terminal, hold an elaborate bunkering network, enabling bunker deliveries at seven berths. These facilities are primarily dedicated to cruise and general cargo vessels. However, tankers and other vessels calling for bunkers-only are regularly serviced at this location as well. All fuel grades, as well as the customary year round 24 hours a day service delivery, are offered. Service excludes overtime charges. Marine Gasoil (MGO) and Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), regular and low vanadium grade and also two grades of Industrial Fuel Oil (IFO) are supplied by ex-pipe.
Ex-pipe bunkering facilities are available at the refinery in Emmastad at eight of the ten jetties. Tankers working cargo can bunker concurrent cargo operations within the sheltered refinery area. Vessels calling for bunkers-only can also be accommodated at the refinery on special request. Available grades are Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), marine fuel oil (MFO), and industrial fuel oil (IFO). MGO and Low vanadium fuel are supplied by barge. The refinery can accommodate tankers of up to 100,000 dwt and the max draft is 13.71m.
Bunkering can be supplied at the Bullen Bay facilities. Marine diesel oil, intermediate fuel oil and marine fuel oil are available by ex-pipe at five of the six berths. Delivery of marine gasoil and/or low vanadium fuel can be arranged by barge upon special request. At Bullen Bay, there are virtually no restrictions on vessel dimensions or bunker volumes. This area can offer attractive bunkers’ only option for big tankers, by offering substantial discounts off the fuel prices and a low calling cost packages.
In the Schottegat Bay, a small 64m barge is used to deliver Marine Gasoil at the container terminal, the Isla Refinery and the Curaçao Drydock Company.
Off port operations now cover the territorial waters of the Dutch Kingdom’s Leeward Islands in front of the Venezuelan coast, supplying all kinds of vessels with a full range of fuels and lubricants from a 6,854dwt double-hulled tanker.
Fresh water for drinking and use in boilers is available day and night in sufficient quantities at all wharves in Willemstad. The fresh and chemically pure water is distilled from sea water by one of the largest distillation plants in the world. Fresh water can also be delivered alongside by means of water barges. Two water barges, one of 100 tons and one of 40 tons, are available. The rate of delivery depends on the quantity required and how many barges can simultaneously deliver water to the vessel. It also depends on the amount of connection on board of the vessel and the height above water to be lifted.
