When fresh produce arrives at the Port of Wilmington in Delaware, maintaining the right conditions is critical. From the time produce is unloaded to the time it is weighed, processed, and shipped onward, temperature control can make the difference between a successful shipment and costly spoilage. That is why dependable fuel is so important.
Hart Fueling recently completed a mobile diesel fueling job at the Port of Wilmington, providing on-site fuel delivery—also known as wet hosing—to fill fuel tanks supporting temporary generators and HVAC equipment. These systems help maintain a climate-controlled environment for produce-filled shipping containers at the port, keeping valuable cargo protected while it moves through the supply chain.
Fueling the Equipment Behind Temperature Control
Fresh fruits and vegetables are highly perishable, making consistent temperature control essential during handling and storage. At the Port of Wilmington, temporary HVAC equipment helps maintain the environmental conditions needed to protect produce from temperature fluctuations. The HVAC equipment depends on generators, and those generators depend on a reliable diesel fuel supply.
For this project, our team delivered diesel directly to the onsite fuel tanks supporting the temporary equipment. By bringing fuel directly to the port rather than requiring personnel to transport tanks or equipment to a fueling station, Hart helped keep the operation fueled while the climate-control systems continued doing their job.
This type of application is exactly where mobile fueling can provide an advantage: the fuel comes to the equipment, helping customers minimize interruptions and keep critical operations moving.
Reliable Fuel for Critical Temporary Equipment
Temporary generators and HVAC systems may not be the most visible part of a port’s operation, but they can play an essential role in protecting perishable cargo. Keeping those systems fueled is one more piece of the logistical puzzle that helps fresh produce reach its destination in good condition.
From construction sites and industrial facilities to ports and other specialized locations, Hart provides mobile fueling solutions designed to bring fuel directly to where it is needed. For your convenience, service can be scheduled on a recurring basis or arranged according to changing operational requirements.
