Petrolneos Fuels awards Lewis Tankers with biofuels transport contract

UK-based road tanker operator Lewis Tankers has won a two-year contract to transport biofuel on behalf of Petrolneos Fuels (PF).

PF currently imports bulk quantities of bioethanol in its natural form and mixes it with 1% gasoline. Lewis Tankers will collect fuel from PF’s storage tanks at Grangemouth Docks, Yorkshire and deliver it to their Grangemouth refinery, operating from its own base in the same area.

Lewis Tankers will also, as part of the contract, transfer the gasoline used in the mixing process from the PF terminal to the docks before new bioethanol shipments arrive.

PF claims to currently supply around nine million litres of fuel a day and Lewis Tankers operates over 80 tankers from nine bases situated around the UK.
