We provide marine fuel bunkering at Rotterdam (Netherlands), Fujairah (UAE), Houston Ship Channel (USA), and at Kazakhstani Caspian ports (Aktau, Kuryk) for the Caspian fleet. Our Fujairah and Rotterdam bunker deliveries use SIRE-approved, MFM-equipped double-hull bunker barges. All bunkering is ISO 8217 compliant and MARPOL Annex VI documented.

We supply VLSFO (Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil, max 0.5% S), HSFO (High Sulphur Fuel Oil for scrubber-fitted vessels), MGO (Marine Gas Oil, DMA grade), and LSMGO (Low Sulphur Marine Gas Oil). VLSFO is produced from our own blending facilities at Rotterdam and Fujairah, ensuring consistent specification and supply reliability.

Yes. We coordinate STS lightering operations at Rotterdam and Fujairah — the world's two most active STS locations. Our STS services comply with OCIMF STS Transfer Guidelines and all applicable port authority regulations. STS is particularly valuable for splitting VLCC cargoes for onward distribution to shallower-draught terminals or multiple discharge ports.

Our Rotterdam Europoort terminal has pipeline connections to over 10 refineries in North West Europe and dedicated jet fuel pipeline access to key airports. Houston connects to the US Gulf Coast crude and product pipeline network. Fujairah is connected to the port's inter-terminal pipeline grid. Kazakhstan facilities connect to the Beineu-Bozoi-Shymkent gas pipeline corridor and Caspian export infrastructure.

Yes. Our tank maintenance division provides cleaning, inspection (API 653 / GOST-compliant), repair, anti-corrosion coating, and recertification services for third-party asset owners at our Kazakhstan facilities and on a mobilised basis to other locations. We manage the complete statutory recertification process with Kazakhstan's industrial safety authorities.

Yes. All bunkering operations are conducted in full compliance with MARPOL Annex VI (sulphur limits, NOx requirements) and Annex I (oil pollution prevention). Every bunker delivery is accompanied by a MARPOL-compliant Bunker Delivery Note (BDN). Our Fujairah barge fleet holds current SIRE approval — an internationally recognised standard of operational excellence in bunker supply.

Yes. Our Rotterdam and Houston terminals offer bonded warehouse storage — allowing clients to hold petroleum products under customs-controlled conditions with duty and tax deferred until the product is released into the domestic market or re-exported. This is particularly valuable for traders holding inventory awaiting price optimisation or re-export opportunities.

All commercial product movements — whether by vessel, pipeline, road tanker, or rail car — are measured by certified custody transfer flow meters (Coriolis or turbine-type), calibrated by accredited metrology authorities in the applicable jurisdiction. Measurement documentation is provided for every commercial transfer, supporting client invoicing, LC compliance, tax reporting, and customs documentation.

Yes. Our maritime logistics team operates a chartering and freight desk that can arrange vessel chartering for crude oil, refined products, LNG, and chemical cargoes on voyage charter, time charter, or contract of affreightment (COA) terms. We access the global tanker market and work with all major shipbrokers to secure competitive freight rates and appropriate vessel specifications for your cargo.
