The new refuelling facility, which is located on Parc Cybi in Holyhead alongside the existing Roadking truck stop, joins Certas Energy’s network of 17 bunker sites across the UK. The only dedicated HGV-refuelling facility on the island of Anglesey features a high-speed refuelling system that allows up to four HGVs to refuel simultaneously at a rate of 120 litres per minute. “We were delighted to officially open our new bunker site at Holyhead,” said Andrew Goodwin, national bunker manager. “Its location provides a convenient refuelling point for HGVs using this crossing. The project has been a great success and marks another significant milestone in our strategy to expand the network of Certas Energy bunker sites across the UK.” Local dignitaries including Holyhead’s mayor and town councillors were present at the ribbon cutting ceremony Fuel Oil News | April 2019 7
