Grenada’s Port Louis Marina is to open a new in-berth fuelling system that will allow superyachts to be fuelled at their dock.
Marina owners Camper & Nicholsons have agreed a partnership with Sol Petroleum to provide the new diesel and petrol fuel service with an anticipated open date of early March 2025.
Alongside the in-berth fuelling system, there will also be dedicated docks for cruising and charter yachts and a separate station for petrol.
“We continue to invest heavily in the marina services and facilities at our marina,” said Zara Tremlett, general manager at Port Louis Marina.
“We have seen continued growth and greater demand for fuelling needs from our existing berth holders and visiting yachts.”

She added: “The popularity of Grenada and her sister islands continues to soar, and we are delighted to be able to offer a new service to our yachts.”
And she explained that the marina is a prime port of call destination for those who have crossed the Atlantic and at the Southern end of the Windward Island chain, the need for quality – duty free – fuel facilities is paramount.
Zara continued: “The five, in-berth, diesel outlets will negate the need for noisy bunkering trucks and will allow superyachts booked for fuel to remain at their berths, enabling crew time to focus on other activities and minimal cover onboard for such operations.”
“We are all very excited to see this much needed and new service coming to Port Louis Marina.”
The new service will consist of a dedicated diesel dock for charter and cruising yachts and a separate petrol dock for tenders, dinghies and other needs.
