World Fuel Services (WFS) is thrilled to announce its latest endeavor in the bustling Jamaican bunker market. Following its successful entry in 2023, World Fuel Services is now poised to solidify its position in Kingston’s bunker fuel market with a significant expansion. By deploying the JC Trader, a robust bunker tanker from 2010 that will effectively double the current service capacity.
