Name change for Black Sea supplier


New company name reflects recent change in ownership.



Romanian bunker supplier Marine Bunker Balkan S.A. has changed its name to Gazpromneft Marine Bunker Balkan S.A. with effect from August 27, 2013.

The new company name reflects the change in ownership following the purchase of Marine Bunker Balkan SA by Russian firm Gazpromneft Marine Bunker earlier this year.

Newly named Gazpromneft Marine Bunker Balkan S.A. is a leading physical supplier in the Romanian Black Sea ports of Constantza, Midia, Agigea, Mangalia.

The company manages two bunker vessels, one storage vessel with a capacity of 4,000 tonnes and two mooring barges, as well as leasing Constantza Oil Terminal, which has a capacity of 1,500 tonnes.

Earlier this year, Gazpromneft Marine Bunker said it expects annual bunker fuel sales at Constantza to exceed 100,000 tonnes as the company aims to establish itself as a key player at the port.

Constantza is one of the largest ports in Europe and the third largest in the Black Sea region, with annual bunker sales of over 400,000 tonnes. It is situated at the crossroads of trade routes from Europe to Asia and represents a key link in the strategic shipping corridor of the Danube river. Trade and shipping corridors in the region are being developed, which means that Danube river transit and vessel docking in Constantza are expected to grow by 1-2% per year up until 2025.

The Romanian supplier recently expanded its presence in Romania to the ports of Mangalia and Midia, sourcing bunker fuel from Gazprom Neft’s Russian and Serbian refineries.
