SINGAPORE – June 30, 2025 – Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited, a leading global provider of marine fuel solutions headquartered in Singapore, today announced a strategic expansion of its Asian footprint with the official opening of a new office in Shanghai, China. The move is part of the company’s broader global growth strategy, following its recent office launch in Dubai, near the key bunkering hub of Fujairah, in April 2025.
The new office, operating under the legal entity Uni-Fuels (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and referred to as Uni-Fuels Shanghai, is located in Lujiazui, the heart of Shanghai’s financial and shipping district. This strategic location provides direct access to the world’s busiest container port and reinforces Uni-Fuels’ commitment to supporting maritime customers and suppliers in one of the most dynamic shipping corridors globally.
Reinforcing Commitment to Asia and Global Shipping Routes
The Shanghai office represents a key milestone for Uni-Fuels as it accelerates its mission to offer sustainable, dependable marine fuel services in all major bunkering hubs. With this expansion, Uni-Fuels aims to deliver localized operational expertise while maintaining the company’s global standards of excellence.
“Calibrated efforts to expand our geographical footprint reflect the Company’s dedication to being where our customers and suppliers operate,” said Alan Tan, Senior Vice President, Commercial at Uni-Fuels. “With this new office, we walk the talk of putting our customers first by leveraging expertise, enhanced operational reach, and greater service responsiveness to better serve them. Our local team possesses a deep understanding of the Asian market, enabling us to respond nimbly to customers’ needs and the evolving dynamics in our operating landscape.”
Operational Advantages for Regional Clients and Partners
Uni-Fuels’ Shanghai presence allows for more frequent and meaningful in-person engagement with regional stakeholders—bunker suppliers, shipping lines, and industry partners—strengthening collaboration and facilitating faster decision-making. These closer geographic ties are expected to improve agility in fuel procurement, delivery, and support, especially in an industry increasingly shaped by fuel transition goals and regional regulatory shifts.
“Close geographic ties enable more frequent face-to-face interactions with suppliers, which facilitate quicker problem-solving and support regional sourcing strategies that bolster supply chain resilience,” Mr. Tan added. “Customers can look forward to an expanded offering of customer-centric solutions, enhanced operational support, and a broader supply network across global shipping routes.”
As the shipping industry navigates an era of decarbonization, regulatory tightening, and fuel diversification, Shanghai stands as a critical vantage point. The city’s strategic role in maritime trade offers Uni-Fuels access to real-time intelligence on market movements, emerging fuel technologies, and policy updates—key to proactive and sustainable bunker fuel procurement.
“Shanghai is an excellent platform to gain access to real-time intelligence on fuel supply dynamics, regulatory changes, and emerging demand trends that are essential for proactive and efficient fuel procurement,” Mr. Tan emphasized.
Part of a Broader Global Strategy
The Shanghai office is part of Uni-Fuels’ ongoing expansion blueprint, designed to deepen its reach in vital bunkering and shipping markets. Following its new footprint in Dubai and now China, the Company is actively cultivating partnerships, enhancing its global supply network, and investing in digital solutions to support modern shipping.
Uni-Fuels continues to play a pivotal role in the maritime fuel value chain—empowering shipowners and operators with agile, compliant, and sustainable solutions that align with the evolving needs of international shipping.
