Bunker One strengthens foothold in Brazil

To provide access to more flexible offshore bunkering solutions, Bunker One (Brazil) has expanded its offshore operation 50 nautical miles from the ITAQUI coastline by adding the tanker MT THORNTON to its fleet. The tanker will be supplying VLSFO and LSMGO and is fully equipped for offshore bunkering.

This new move in Brazil will boost Bunker One’s ambitious growth plans not only for the South American region but globally.

Bunker One first entered Brazil in 2017 and is present in the Port of Rio de Janeiro, where the company has tailormade its operation to meet the specific needs of its customers. Flavio Ribeiro, Managing Director, Bunker One Brazil, says:

“Brazil continues to be of strategic importance to Bunker One. Expanding our presence to northern Brazil is in line with our ambition to strengthen our position in the Americas. This region is of vital importance to Brazilian export of commodities, and our presence there will provide our customers with more flexibility in terms of bunkering options on their voyages. We listen to our customers’ requests for places of delivery, and we want to continue to meet the increased demands of our business partners. Having a large fleet at its disposal makes Bunker One adept at providing prompt and agile bunker delivery services wherever the need arises. Bunker One’s tanker fleet is highly specialised and equipped for offshore bunkering operations and ensures the highest level of quality, safety and efficiency of supply.

Peter Zachariassen, CEO, Bunker One, says: “I am very pleased that we can sustain momentum and stay on course with our plans to expand our operational reach. As we continue with our ambitious growth plans, we will, of course, remain dedicated to our business partners and maintain our strong focus on providing our customers with services of the highest quality.”
