CWS Fuel Boat
A dockside gas service fueling Oakland County Michigan boat owners. A marine delivery service that develops a shoreline route refueling Oakland County Michigan’s lake front property owners and marina vessels while they are docked. Michigan’s first dockside fueling service offers fuel to lakes and marinas without fuel docks. Whether CWS manages your annual lakefront equipment service
or access, or if you’d just like to ditch the chore of lugging drippy gas cans down to the lake, CWS exists to make your “Lake Living Made Easy”
With a CWS Fuel Boat membership patrons can expect a consistent and steadfast commitment to clean water fueling and safety. A major component of CWS training revolves around operational accountability and the technology to uphold exceptional standards in some of the toughest working conditions. While CWS Fuel Boat will not offer emergency refueling CWS Fuel Boat customers can expect reliable gas delivery serviced by a state-of-the-art fueling system to provide dripless fuel transfer from a fully anchored purpose-built vessel. The Fuel Boat operation is in full compliance with NFPA 30 and 30A including the additional NFPA regulation that all passengers be disembarked during fueling operations. Nearly all existing marinas do not comply with this NFPA rule. The Vessel was extensively reviewed for compliance, structure, engineering, electrical and dispensation systems by the State’s Fire Marshalls office and further reviewed and the International Code council by that office. In other considerations for operational safety, the CWS Fuel Boat is governed to 7 knots, and upon arrival dockside deploys multiple spud anchors from its double wall stainless steel hull while refueling member’s boats. The delivery route excludes high traffic times for all lakes and member boats must always be moored or on a lift to conform to accepted marine fueling practice as described by the USCG Code of Federal Regulations. The Fuel Boat is also in full compliance with all Department of Transportation regulations as is the captain during transport. CWS’s vision for this service is to stop accidental spills when fueling from gas cans and provide reliable partnerships with lakes and associations that value premium, non-ethanol fuel while they enjoy the investment of lake front living.
