Gazpromneft Marine Bunker supplies 40,000 tonnes to Royal Caribbean


Russian firm says it has delivered over 200,000 tonnes to U.S. cruise company over the last five years.

Russian marine fuel supplier Gazpromneft Marine Bunker, operator of Gazprom Neft's bunkering business, says that it has delivered almost 40,000 metric tonnes of fuel to the world's second-largest cruise company, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd, during the 2015 cruise season.

The total volume of fuel supplied to the Miami-headquartered firm has exceeded 200,000 tonnes over the last five years, Gazpromneft Marine Bunker says.

In 2015, Royal Caribbean vessels have been making stops at St. Petersburg between May and September. During that period, Gazpromneft Marine Bunker says that it has been "the exclusive supplier of the cruise company in the North-Western region" and carried out 41 bunkering operations for its client.

"Our company cooperates with Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd since 2008," commented Gazpromneft Marine Bunker's general director Andrei Vasiliev. "The basic principles of our work are Gazpromneft's marine fuels' high quality, precise fulfilment of agreements and faultless service during bunkering operations."
