Watering is the supply of fresh water to a vessel for drinking, cooking and daily use on board. V. Faytaren Shipping Agency arranges fresh water deliveries for vessels at berth or at anchor in Batangas Bay and other Philippine ports.
What our fresh water supply service covers
Every vessel needs fresh water, and many take it on during a port call rather than relying fully on onboard production. The request is simple, but the delivery has to fit around everything else happening on the ship: cargo work, bunkering, crew changes and the sailing time.
We confirm the quantity and the delivery point with the master or chief engineer, then arrange supply by pipeline at the berth or by water barge at anchor, depending on what the location allows. We time the delivery so it does not clash with other operations and confirm the final quantity received.
Fresh water is often requested together with provisions and other husbanding items. Adding it to your port call through us means one booking, one point of contact and one line in the disbursement account.

Frequently asked questions
Can fresh water be delivered at anchor?
Yes. Where shore lines cannot reach, water is delivered by barge alongside the vessel.
How much water can we order?
Tell us the quantity you need and the vessel's location. We will confirm what can be supplied and how.
Can water and bunkers be delivered on the same call?
Yes. We schedule both so they fit around each other and around cargo operations.
Is the water supply part of husbanding?
It is one of the most common husbanding items, and we usually arrange it as part of the port call.
