The fuel tanker Energizer docked alongside the Africa Mercy this past Friday. We bunkered enough fuel - around 800 tons - to see us safely on our sail up north to the Canary Islands next month. The process of bunkering is one fraught with safety concerns (due to the volatile nature of the tanker's cargo), but thankfully the refueling went smoothly, thanks to the Energizer's crew and our own dedicated Deck and Engineering Departments.
