Fog season begins on US Gulf Coast, bunker disruptions expected

The Coast Guard advised mariners to factor in the risk of reduced visibility when planning transits and before setting off.

“We will be seeing rough weather here on. Intermittent suspensions or port closures across the Gulf are expected during heavy fog,” a trader told ENGINE.

This is expected to disrupt bunker operations over the next few months, the trader added.

The US National Weather Service issued a dense fog advisory for parts of southeast Texas on Monday morning and expected patchy fog to drift over the bays and beaches.
