Company Background

In the mid-1980's, the potential of a large Oil Terminal, adjoining a deep water Jetty, at a strategic geographical location was realised and Falmouth Oil Services Ltd  (FOS) began operations in 1986. 

Today, the company owns and operates a sea-fed Jetty, 67,000 MT capacity Terminal, inland distribution facilities, a delivery barge and Road Tanker, an Agency Division, an engineering firm and licenced Waste Disposal Facilities at Falmouth.

 

Confidence in company operations and environmental awareness  was further strengthened when FOS gained Certficates of Compliance to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Standards. 

Ideally situated in the South West of England, at a crossroads of the busy shipping lanes of the English Channel and Irish Sea, Falmouth can provide a safe anchorage for any  size of vessel in Falmouth Bay where there is shelter from all wind directions except winds from the south east quadrant. Alternatively, deep water anchorages are available at the Inner Harbour which is even more sheltered. Bunkering operations also take place alongside vessels at Falmouth Docks.

Engineering services, on shore or afloat, are available through our associated company Metal Surgery.

The Port of Falmouth includes a major ship repair facility,3 dry-docks, lay by berths, towage, cargo handling operations, marinas, specialist boat building and repair, fish landing and processing and numerous other marine industries.
