Victoria Johansen strengthens Blue Energy Partners’ supply capabilities. Bringing nearly 20 years of global marine fuel expertise, she focuses on optimizing supplier relationships and advancing sustainable solutions in a rapidly evolving energy market.
Oslo, Norway – Victoria Elsie Nektheden Johansen is a seasoned professional in the global bunker and energy trading sector, with nearly two decades of hands-on experience across critical maritime hubs and energy supply chains. In her new role as Supply Specialist – Bunker & Energy Markets at Blue Energy Partners, she brings a well-honed expertise in supplier strategy, risk management, and transitional fuel logistics. Her appointment highlights the increasingly vital role of supply-side leadership in driving commercial resilience and environmental alignment within the global marine fuel industry.
Operating from Oslo, one of Europe’s most progressive maritime capitals, Victoria will lead key supply initiatives, overseeing end-to-end fuel logistics across both conventional and alternative marine energy products. Her cross-functional mandate includes fortifying supplier networks, advancing commercial strategy, and embedding sustainability as a core pillar in Blue Energy Partners’ growth architecture.
A Master Navigator of Complexity in Evolving Energy Markets
Victoria’s career began in the pre-IMO 2020 era — a time that required bunker professionals to possess a meticulous command of physical operations, risk exposure, and dynamic pricing. Her professional journey spans pivotal roles with global heavyweights such as KPI Bridge Oil, World Fuel Services, and Glander International Bunkering, where she built a strong reputation for strategic sourcing, relationship-driven negotiation, and market responsiveness.
Notably, her most recent tenure as Senior Bunker Trader at Sonan Bunkers Group placed her at the nexus of high-volume trade flows and evolving compliance frameworks. In this role, she led client portfolios through supply chain volatility, carbon intensity metrics, and early-stage adoption of alternative fuels — showcasing her ability to navigate the fast-shifting demands of today’s maritime fuel economy.
Her deep domain knowledge, built through years of frontline trading in Dubai, London, and Oslo, provides a rare 360-degree view of the global marine fuel supply chain — from procurement to pricing, and from traditional oil markets to future-facing clean energy systems.
Strategic Focus: Future-Proofing Marine Fuel Supply
In her new role, Victoria is tasked with executing a supply strategy that mirrors the complexities of the contemporary marine energy mix. Her portfolio includes:
- Strengthening supplier ecosystems across key international hubs
- Managing logistics and risk across conventional and transitional fuel markets
- Supporting market intelligence functions, with a focus on predictive pricing and contract optimization
- Facilitating alignment between commercial goals and environmental objectives
- Championing stakeholder relationships in a sector increasingly driven by transparency, resilience, and digital agility
Her leadership is expected to further Blue Energy Partners’ mission of integrating operational excellence with forward-thinking sustainability — a critical balance as shipping intensifies its journey toward carbon neutrality.
An Advocate for Equity in Maritime Leadership
Beyond her technical credentials, Victoria is recognized as a thought leader in maritime inclusivity and progressive workplace culture. As Scandinavian Ambassador for Women Together, she actively supports female leadership in shipping, advocating for representation, equity, and resilience in an industry historically slow to embrace diversity at the leadership level.
Her holistic approach to leadership — blending commercial acumen with people-first principles — aligns seamlessly with the values championed by Blue Energy Partners.
A Message for the Industry
Speaking about her new role, Victoria shared “Blue Energy Partners represents a bold, agile vision for the future of marine energy. I’m proud to be joining a team that not only delivers operational excellence, but also invests in long-term, sustainable growth. In a market facing unprecedented change, I see this as an opportunity to redefine how we build value across the supply chain — commercially, ethically, and environmentally.”
