Bachmus Oil & Fuel Supplies has been running fuel and lube operations out of Namibia since 1994. With depots in key locations like Walvis Bay, Windhoek, Swakopmund, Ondangwa, and Karibib, they’ve carved out a strong regional presence serving the marine, mining, energy, and construction sectors.
They fuel vessels both in port and offshore, delivering MGO and LSFO through a mix of port-side service and ship-to-ship transfers. Their crew is used to handling DMA approvals and other compliance paperwork - so clients don’t have to sweat the small stuff when calling Namibia.
The lube side of the business covers a broad spread of marine oils for main engines, auxiliaries, gearboxes, and hydraulics. Whether it's pumped from shore or brought out on a launch, deliveries are tailored to how each vessel operates and what turnaround time they’re working with.
Apart from fuel supply and lubricants- the company offers oil checks and sampling to help crews catch engine issues before they turn serious. It's a small move that helps prevent bigger problems and gives operators more control over machinery performance.
In March 2025, Bachmus was recognized at the Astron Energy C&I Lubricants Conference as the leading distributor of Astron Lubricants in Namibia. Competing alongside top distributors from across the SADC region, they took home multiple awards - including Best Volume Growth, Best Marketing, and the top honor: Overall Caltex Lubricant Distributor of the Year. It was a big moment for the team, and a reflection of what consistent delivery, smart branding, and loyal customer relationships can achieve.
After decades in the business, they know how to keep things moving - making them a solid go-to for shipowners operating along Namibia’s busy coastline. Between their flexible logistics, responsive team, and in-house technical know-how, Bachmus has become a name vessels trust when working southern African routes.
