Bomin shuts down trading offices in Athens and London

Bomin shuts down trading offices in Athens and London
Marine fuels supplier Bomin Group has shut down its trading offices in Greece’s Athens and UK’s London as part of its effort to focus on physical supply operations.

In view of the marine fuel supply chain experiencing significant transition and change, in line with new regulations and added complexity, Bomin said it needs its global infrastructure and resources to be invested in the right areas to ensure it can better meet customers’ requirements.

And as part of this process Bomin has expanded its physical infrastructure in key areas including Singapore and Europe, in line with its physical trader model.

“In this new era for bunkering, success will be defined by investing resources in areas that drive growth, and in creating a strong and a robust infrastructure to meet ship owners’ increasing challenges in relation to the marine fuel supply chain,” Thomas Roller, managing director of Bomin, told Ship & Bunker.

“Therefore, it is critical for us to concentrate on operations that support our business model.”

Since the start of October, Bomin has deployed four modern, double-hull bunker tankers in Singapore, where it is an established physical supplier.

In July this year, Bomin launched a new physical operation in Port Louis, Mauritius, utilising one 2008-built, double-hull bunker tanker.
