V-Marine Fuels enters US physical market


Bunker firm announces that it is commencing physical operations in Houston, Texas City and Galveston.

V-Marine Fuels has today announced that it is entering the US bunker market, commencing physical operations in the Port of Houston and the nearby ports of Texas City and Galveston, including Bolivar Roads on March 1, 2013.

V-Marine Fuels will source product from its parent company, Vitol Group, the world's largest independent energy trader, offering a full range of ISO 8217-2010 marine fuels. The company says it will initially operate one barge, capable of delivering low and high sulphur fuels and will have additional barges at its disposal to meet the demands of its customers.
