Ankora Fuels, a rising star in the marine fuel supply sector, proudly announces a significant milestone: the successful completion of its inaugural bunkering operation by Barge. This landmark event saw the delivery of Marine Gas Oil (MGO) to a bulk carrier in Port Newark, NJ, setting a new standard for reliability and excellence in the bunkering industry.
John Barbarise, Co-Founder and Head of Sales & Products Trading at Ankora Fuels, remarked, “Our mission is to offer buyers a dependable, customer-centric, and cost-effective solution for their clean bunker fuel needs in major East Coast ports, including New Jersey and New York Harbor. This achievement underscores our firm commitment to service excellence.”
John Barbarise, along with Ross Grill, Co-Founder at Ankora Fuels, extended heartfelt thanks to the dedicated barge crew whose expertise and professionalism were pivotal in realizing this milestone. They also expressed deep appreciation to Ankora’s first customer for their trust and support.
Ankora Fuels is poised to expand its services, with plans to supply MGO and Ultra Low Sulfur Marine Gas Oil (ULSMGO) by Trucks at key berths in New York Harbor, Philadelphia, and other strategic locations along the Delaware River. An official announcement regarding these expansions is expected later this year. Furthermore, Ankora is gearing up for strategic expansions into additional ports in the coming months.
With its headquarters in Deal, NJ, Ankora Fuels was co-founded by industry veteran John Barbarise, who brings over 11 years of experience leading an East Coast bunker desk. His expertise spans supply chain management, risk mitigation, and sales operations.
