These products will be sourced from the Petrojam Limited-operated refinery in Kingston, ensuring consistent supply and adherence to regional quality standards. Bunkering services will be conducted via barge operations managed by Scott Petroleum, delivering flexible, port-side fuel solutions for a variety of vessel types.
A Strategic Location for Global Shipping
The Port of Kingston is a key transshipment and logistics hub in the Caribbean basin, with growing demand for high-quality marine fuel services. This makes Jamaica a strategic location for TFG Marine’s global expansion and aligns with the company’s objective of improving transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in the global bunkering sector.
“We’re very happy to be setting up in Jamaica,” said Kenneth Dam, Head of Bunkering at TFG Marine.
“It’s a strategic location with strong demand and teaming up with Scott Petroleum means that we can hit the ground running with an existing reliable, well-run operation. We’re looking forward to bringing TFG Marine’s global expertise and fuel supply innovation to the Caribbean, and to raising the standard of service for marine fuel customers across the region.”
Local Expertise Meets Global Reach
Scott Petroleum has built a solid reputation as a trusted marine fuel supplier in the Caribbean, known for its operational integrity, market insight, and customer-focused service.
“We are excited about our partnership with TFG Marine,” said Gary Scott, CEO of Scott Petroleum.
“This new venture will form a strong force to expand the bunker service being offered in Jamaica and will be able to capture other opportunities that exist in the region.”
The collaboration reflects a shared vision to offer world-class fuel delivery services with the added advantage of local operational reliability and transparent pricing structures. Together, the partners aim to set a new benchmark for bunkering services in the Caribbean.
Raising the Standard in the Caribbean Bunkering Market
With demand for efficient and compliant marine fuels continuing to grow in the region, TFG Marine’s entry into the Jamaican market through this partnership represents a major enhancement to local marine infrastructure and fuel logistics. It offers shipowners and operators access to a dependable fuel supply network, backed by global logistics, compliance expertise, and innovative digital bunkering processes.
