About This Service

Complex Chain. Simple Experience.

The petroleum supply chain is complex. Fuel might be produced in one country, shipped to a UAE port, stored in a terminal, then distributed by road to dozens of end-user locations. Every transfer point is a risk point — for contamination, delay, documentation errors, and cost leakage.

Hibernia Diesel's logistics service manages this complexity. Whether you need a full end-to-end solution or a specific link in the chain (e.g., just road distribution from a terminal), our team has the experience, infrastructure, and network to keep your fuel moving — safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Engagement Models

Flexible Models — We Adapt to Your Operation

Model 1

Fully Managed Supply Chain

We take responsibility for the entire fuel supply chain — from international procurement through to last-mile delivery at your sites. You place the order; we handle everything else.

Best for: Large consumers who want predictable supply without building in-house logistics capability. Companies new to the UAE market.

Model 2

Terminal-to-Site Distribution

You purchase fuel directly from a producer or terminal using your own commercial arrangements. We provide the road transport and distribution — collecting from the terminal and delivering to your sites.

Best for: Companies with established procurement relationships who need reliable, professional distribution capability.

Model 3

Port-to-Terminal Coordination

You have your own shipping and distribution arrangements, but need on-the-ground support at UAE ports — vessel discharge supervision, customs clearance, sampling, and storage coordination.

Best for: International traders or producers who need a reliable local partner for port logistics.

Model 4

Project-Based Logistics

A dedicated logistics solution for a specific project — a refinery shutdown requiring massive temporary fuel supply, a construction project in a remote location, or a time-limited large-scale requirement.

Best for: Time-limited projects with intensive fuel requirements that don't justify permanent infrastructure.

Case Studies

Logistics in Action

Case Study 1 — Multi-Site Construction Group

Centralizing Fuel Supply Across 12 Active Project Sites

Challenge

12 project sites across Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman managing fuel independently from different suppliers — inconsistent pricing, delivery delays, no consolidated reporting, and safety risks from multiple unknown tankers accessing sites.

Solution

Single supply agreement covering all 12 sites. Scheduled deliveries optimized into efficient daily routes. One supplier = one set of safety procedures, one quality standard, one invoice.

Result

18% reduction in average fuel cost. 99.1% on-time delivery rate. Single monthly invoice replacing 40–60 individual supplier invoices. Standardized safety across all sites.

Case Study 2 — International Trader

Port Logistics Support for Diesel Imports at Jebel Ali

Challenge

An international petroleum trader shipping diesel into Jebel Ali with no UAE presence. Needed reliable local partner to supervise discharge, arrange sampling, manage customs, coordinate terminal storage, and handle documentation.

Solution

Hibernia Diesel's logistics team acted as "boots on the ground" in Dubai, managing all port operations for three shipments totaling 18,000 MT of diesel over six months.

Result

Zero demurrage charges. 100% of COAs matched contractual specs. All customs clearances completed without delay. Documentation package delivered within 48 hours of each discharge.

FAQ

Common Questions

Can you handle hazardous cargo beyond diesel?

Yes. Our capabilities extend to fuel oil, kerosene, bitumen, white spirit, and other petroleum products. Each product has specific handling requirements — our team is trained accordingly, with product-specific HSE protocols and appropriate tanker equipment.

Do you offer heated transport for temperature-sensitive products?

For fuel oil and bitumen grades that require temperature maintenance, our tankers can be equipped with heating/insulation systems. Discuss your specific product requirements with our team during the scoping phase.

Can you coordinate with free zone authorities?

Yes. We have extensive experience with the documentation and access requirements of all major UAE free zones including JAFZA, DAFZA, SAIF Zone, Hamriyah, RAK FTZ, and others. We know the specific permit processes for each zone.

What reporting do you provide?

Standard monthly reports include: delivery summary (date, location, product, quantity), on-time delivery performance, quality incidents (if any), and invoice reconciliation. Custom reports are available per agreement, including site-level consumption analysis and cost allocation.
