Fuel Supply

Fuelling your trawler in Brixham
How it Works
Refuelling is self-service. BTA supply each local skipper with an electronic key with a unique code that provides access to the system. Visiting trawlers need to contact BTA prior to fuelling.

Fast and Efficient
To refuel an average trawler will take approximately one hour and around 15,000 litres of fuel. Some of the largest beamers can take as much as 30,000 litres.

When to refuel?
As the trawlers arrive back in port they have a choice of when to refuel, depending on the time of day and how busy the quayside is. They can either head directly for the refuelling area, take up the fuel hoses and proceed to take their fuel and then land their catch, or they can land their catch first and then refuel.

“The fish we catch is an excellent product and BTA help me to achieve the best price by making sure the product is kept to the highest standards ready for sale. BTA also provide all the services I require to get my boats ready to return to sea, including ensuring a good, fast and regular fuel supply.”
