Total Lubmarine says that it has "resumed all services" based out of the Chinese port of Tianjin and "experienced only minor disruption" as a result of explosions that occurred at the port on 12 August.

In a statement, Total Lubmarine explained that the warehouse it uses was unaffected by the recent explosions, and the facilities of its main delivery agent were also undamaged. However, the port's customs building was described by the lubricant supplier as having been "badly impacted".

Total Lubmarine added that its Tianjin operations have fully resumed but are subject to an extra working day's notice (four days instead of three). Services for customers with vessels calling at Tianjin remain subject to the same period of notice as before the explosions - two working days.

"Delivery managers are in contact with all customers taking on lubricants at the port of Tianjin and the following nearby ports: Caofeidan, Huanghua, Jing Tang, Qinhuangdao, Shanhaiguan and Tangshan," the company added.
