Drew, DHL In Agreement For Worldwide Port Fuel Evaluation Service— Literature Available Charles Stucky of Drew Amer- oid® Marine has announced that DHL Worldwide Courier Express will be the exclusive service for air dispatch of PACE™ fuel evaluation program bunker samples from ports located at the major shipping routes around the world. Upon notifying DHL that a fuel sample is ready for the Drew PACE program, the sam- ple will be picked up, flown to the nearest Drew laboratory for evalua- tion and a service report will be tel- exed to the office designated. From principal ports Drew guarantees this service in 48 hours. In addition Drew provides 72-hour service from secondary ports. Service from any remote outport is available within 48 hours after samples are received at a cognizant laboratory. Because Drew is able to use its already established marine service network and recognized expertise, the PACE program offers the most comprehensive service of its kind, at competitive prices, providing infor- mation required to reduce fuel con- sumption and prevent engine dam- age. The PACE program fees are structured to meet ship operators' needs. PACE program costs are based on individual bunkering occa- sions and not solely on a contract fee.
