May 2025 – Dubai, United Arab Emirates – TIGONIC, a premier integrated energy trading and bunker supply company headquartered in Dubai, has officially launched physical bunker supply operations at Khorfakkan, UAE, via barge, successfully completing its first deliveries of bunker fuel in recent days.
This strategic move enhances TIGONIC’s regional supply capabilities through barge-based delivery of Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) and Marine Gas Oil (MGO)—positioning the company as a trusted partner for vessels seeking high-quality marine fuels and seamless logistics support along the vital East Coast of the UAE.
TIGONIC also supplies bunkers at the Port of Sharjah via truck and may expand into additional ports across the region in the foreseeable future.
Barge-Delivered Fuels for High-Traffic Maritime Corridors
TIGONIC’s expansion into physical supply, with its own dedicated bunker barge, enables the company to deliver marine fuels directly at anchorage. This provides full control over the delivery process, increased operational efficiency, and strict adherence to quality control protocols.
“This launch marks a significant milestone in our service evolution,” said the team at TIGONIC. “With physical supply now live at Khorfakkan, we are elevating our ability to provide fast, flexible, and reliable marine fuel solutions to the global fleet.”
As vessel traffic in the region continues to grow, the need for responsive, reputable bunker suppliers has become increasingly critical. TIGONIC’s entry into physical delivery adds meaningful value for shipowners, operators, and charterers operating throughout the Gulf region.
Strengthening Regional and Global Energy Integration
This launch follows TIGONIC’s recent upstream milestone—the successful lifting of multiple cargoes of High Sulfur Fuel Oil (HSFO) from the SASREF refinery in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, and fuel oil of Bahraini origin for its customers in the Singapore Straits. This achievement underscores the company’s expanding influence across the global oil and bunker supply chain.
“Our strategy is to integrate our supply chain both geographically and in terms of product offerings, going all the way to last-mile delivery for our customers. With this in mind, we are expanding both our physical bunker delivery and bunker trading operations globally,” said senior management at TIGONIC.
With an integrated presence spanning trading, storage, transportation, and now physical marine fuel delivery, TIGONIC is rapidly emerging as a full-spectrum energy partner for the global maritime industry.
