Vadinar is the tanker jetty serving the refinery operator's (formerly the predecessor refinery operator) Vadinar refinery — India's second-largest single-location refinery with 20 MTPA capacity. Like its neighbour Sikka, Vadinar primarily handles crude imports and refined product exports, with bunker supply provided via barge from the leading Indian private bunker operator's Mundra terminal.
the refinery operator operates the Vadinar refinery and associated single-point mooring (SPM) plus conventional jetty infrastructure in the Gulf of Kutch. The facility is one of India's most complex refineries, processing a wide range of crude slates including heavy and sour grades. Tanker traffic is continuous, making Vadinar a natural bunker candidate for vessels already committed to a refinery call.
Vadinar is associated with Kandla Port — refinery jetty of nayara energy (former essar oil) vadinar refinery. Many vessel operators evaluate Vadinar and Kandla together when planning Indian port calls. See the Kandla bunker guide for context on the broader supply area.

VLSFO, HSFO and LSMGO are available at Vadinar via the leading Indian private bunker operator barge from Mundra. The typical bunker profile is tanker-class: stems of 500-2,500 MT per vessel. HSFO demand is notable given scrubber-fitted crude carriers on Gulf-Asia rotations. The leading Indian private bunker operator's Gujarat-wide network includes Vadinar as a regular delivery point within its barge rotation.
