Looking to Hire? Looking for a New Role? How are Bunkers traded? Where are Bunkers traded? If you are using a 'hybrid' currently can you be sure you really need to use the trading arm in all instances.

Buyer beware! As 'Brokers only' a significant part of our job is to manage the available credit for the owner by careful planning with our supply partners.

Occasionally, we do use a trader at a transparent margin and our trading partners do a fantastic job giving support when called upon. The difference is we are open with the owner why a trader is needed and transparent with how much the trader earns for the service provided. Where there are similarities with one of the new trading entities is with our 'key account management' principles. Our owners have a one stop shop for all questions bunkering and we conduct periodic analysis and review of our performance.

The key is in the relationship and portfolio management aspects of the business. The trader in question has taken some of the key principles of being a successful broker but without being a hybrid! An interesting concept and one aligned with our philosophy.

In summary both traders and brokers can do an excellent, separate and complimentary job in the market. We are very happy to have strong relationships with a number of traders and use their services when required.

Physical operations are a natural development for Bunker Holding, and reflect our desire to become ever more customer-centric. In the coming years, we will deliver physical supplies in even more ports.

We offer physical supplies. And we help shipping companies manage their price risk on fuel expenses.
