    Hello all!

    Does anybody know who has the right to buy diesel fuel at tax-free rates in
    ports world-wide? Is this different from country to country or is there an
    internationally accepted rule?
    I'm asking because I suppose it would hurt somewhat to end up in a place
    without fuel only to find that the cheapest diesel I qualify for in a 4000
    mile radius is $4 per gallon. This, and because the ship I am researching has
    tanks to a total of 15000l/4500 gallons... it adds up...

    I see MDO sells for around $250/mt in world ports. That's around $250/1200l ~
    $.20/l ~ $.80/gallon if I'm not very mistaken.

    Now how do I qualify for that price - register the ship through a company???
    Or register it in Panama?

    Any insight is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Alex
