The new facility adds to OW Bunker’s existing network of Latin American offices in Chile, Uruguay, Panama and Brazil, and will serve the Carribbean fuel market as well as ships transiting the Panama Canal.
“OW Bunker is well placed to support customers in what is a particularly fragmented and complex bunker market,” said Pedro Gómez, regional manager, OW Bunker Latin America. “As an established company within the region with a global benchmark for quality products and services, our experience enables us to work closely with customers as a trusted advisor to deliver competitive fuel solutions that increase operational efficiencies, saving them time and money.”
OW Bunker’s Colombia operation will include experienced employees, with additional recruitment planned for 2014. Götz Lehsten, executive vice president, said: “Our expansion into Cartagena further strengthens our services across the Caribbean and the Latin America bunker market as a whole. We have an experienced team on the ground, with local knowledge and insight, supported by a global infrastructure and network that ensure customers receive the highest quality products and services when and where they need them.”
