Hamburg / Durban; Tuesday 4th May 2010: Skytanking Calulo has started
aviation fuelling operations in Durban, South Africa at the new King Shaka
International Airport, which opened in the early hours of 1st May.
Skytanking Calulo (Pty) Limited is the operator of the aviation fuel hydrant and
storage system for the airport, as well as the into-plane fuelling service.
Skytanking Calulo, which is a joint venture between Skytanking Holding GmbH
and South African company Oiltanking Calulo (Pty) Limited, was awarded the six
year contract by Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) in September last year
following a public tender. The tender ranked bidders on technical competence in
aviation fuelling and the proposed cost of providing fuelling services.
The fuel facility at King Shaka International Airport was built by ACSA and
comprises 6,000 cubic meters of fuel storage, 8 kilometres of underground
hydrant system with 41 fuelling pits, a fuel depot for into-plane operations and a
road fuel station for airport vehicles. Skytanking Calulo has invested in six new
into-plane fuelling vehicles to fuel the 80-100 flights that are expected every
day.

Skytanking is a subsidiary of Marquard & Bahls AG of Germany, a leading
independent petroleum company, and is active in all fields of aviation fuelling.
Skytanking handles 9 billion litres of aviation fuel and fuels 830,000 aircraft per
year. Skytanking provides a full range of services including building, owning and
operating aviation fuel facilities and providing into-plane services to airlines,
airports and oil companies. The company operates at 27 airports in Europe, the
