Rotterdam-based Verde Marine Energy BV, a premier marine fuel physical supplier in the ARA region, has officially launched its Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) physical supply operations. This strategic expansion reinforces Verde Marine’s commitment to delivering high-quality marine fuels with rigorous testing and analysis protocols, ensuring superior product reliability for shipowners and operators.
Strengthening Independent VLSFO Supply in ARA
Since its inception, Verde Marine has rapidly established itself as a key independent supplier of marine distillate products in Rotterdam-Antwerp, and surrounding areas. The company consistently delivers a diverse range of marine distillates with varying densities and Cold Flow properties, ensuring customer satisfaction through stringent quality control and optimized procurement strategies.
The ARA bunkering market has undergone substantial shifts due to mergers and acquisitions among major global trading houses, reshaping the competitive landscape. Amidst this transformation, Verde Marine Energy BV is stepping up to meet the increasing demand for a reliable, independent VLSFO supplier that prioritizes quality, consistency, and service excellence. Complementing its existing bunkering services, the company’s latest move into VLSFO Fuel Oil supply enhances its position as a trusted partner in the maritime sector.
Expansion of VLSFO Fuel Oil Supply Operations
Verde Marine’s rapid growth, backed by the maritime expertise of the Vertom Group, has led to a series of significant milestones in just seven months. This latest expansion introduces VLSFO supply operations via the bunker barge MTS Malia, commencing March 15th in Rotterdam. To further extend its reach, Verde Marine has plans to expand its fleet and enhance supply coverage across the entire ARA region, ensuring greater availability and service efficiency for its growing customer base.
Joe Tierney, Head of Trading at Verde Marine Energy BV, commented:
“Our expansion into VLSFO supply is a natural progression as we continue to build Verde Marine into a leading independent physical supplier in the ARA region. By leveraging our fleet expansion and operational expertise, we are well-positioned to provide shipowners and operators with the high-quality, reliable fuel solutions they need. Our focus remains on delivering top-tier service while maintaining full independence in the market.”
Enhanced Flexibility with Road Tanker Supply
Demonstrating agility and a customer-centric approach, Verde Marine has also introduced marine distillate fuel supply via road tankers across the ARA region. This new service provides greater flexibility, enabling vessels and inland operators to receive marine fuel deliveries at designated locations. By integrating truck-based supply options with its established bunker barge operations, Verde Marine ensures seamless and timely fuel availability for a wide range of clients, reinforcing its reputation as a fully independent and adaptive bunkering partner.
Commitment to Excellence and Future Growth
With a dedicated 24/7 operational team, Verde Marine remains committed to efficiency, sustainability, and precision in its bunkering operations. As the company continues to expand its fleet, service offerings, and market reach, it remains steadfast in its mission to power the maritime sector with high-quality, independent bunkering solutions in the ARA region and beyond.
