Odense, Denmark | October 16, 2025 – In a decisive move reflecting its global growth strategy and regional ambitions, Christiania Energy has opened a new office in Dubai, bolstering its presence in one of the world’s most strategic maritime and bunkering hubs.
The expansion marks a significant chapter for the privately held Danish physical bunker supplier and trading company, bringing its operations closer to key customers across the Middle East, Indian Ocean, and Asia-Pacific regions — markets that are increasingly central to global shipping and energy flows.
Already active in France and Egypt, and supported by the broader Eitzen Group’s presence in Spain, Norway, and the Netherlands, Christiania Energy’s entry into Dubai underscores its long-term commitment to the world’s critical east–west trade corridors.
“Even as global trade routes face challenges, Dubai continues to stand out as a vital logistics and trading hub between East and West,” said Patrick Jorgensen, Managing Director of Christiania Energy. “Our presence here allows us to stay agile, build strong regional relationships, and support clients as they navigate shifting market dynamics. This move strengthens our position as a trusted energy partner to the maritime industry.”
Strategic Positioning in a Maritime Crossroads
Dubai has firmly established itself as a global center for maritime services, energy logistics, and trade. Its ports handle some of the region’s highest bunker volumes, serving container ships, bulk carriers, offshore vessels, and the superyacht segment.
Christiania Energy’s new office will serve as a regional headquarters for marine lubricants distribution, bunker fuel supply, and technical services. The move is not only a response to growing demand — it’s a proactive investment in market foresight and client proximity.
Supporting a Diversified Client Portfolio
The company’s expansion comes amid a rapidly evolving global energy landscape, where industry stakeholders are placing increasing value on reliability, flexibility, and localized expertise.
With the Dubai office, Christiania Energy reinforces its commitment to a broad spectrum of clients, including:
- Shipping companies operating along key east–west and intra-Asian routes
- Technical managers and procurement teams requiring just-in-time bunker delivery
- Yacht and offshore operators seeking specialized marine lubricant solutions
- Traders and brokers demanding transparency, agility, and operational excellence
Built on Heritage, Driven by Strategy
Christiania Energy draws on more than 140 years of maritime legacy through its parent company, the Eitzen Group. Over the years, it has carved out a distinct position in marine fuels, lubricants, and carbon credit trading, with an emphasis on trust, transparency, and performance.
The opening of the Dubai office is part of a broader vision to align with the maritime industry’s evolving geography, fuel transitions, and decarbonization imperatives.
“We’re not expanding for the sake of it,” added Jorgensen. “We’re expanding with purpose — to support the maritime transition, offer smarter supply solutions, and uphold our ethos: Trusted by Ambassadors.”
As fuel markets become more complex and sustainability moves to the forefront, Christiania Energy is positioning itself as not just a supplier — but a strategic energy partner for the modern maritime economy.
