Berth Holders Fuel At Cost

Berth holders will need to have a red fuel fob to claim fuel at cost price. The red fuel fob should be held just below the screen until after it has beeped. A message will then appear on the screen if the fob has been accepted the message will appear in blue, 'Identification card accepted. Your identification card has been accepted'. If the message appears in orange there is a fault and you will need to try again.
