Dan-Bunkering ventures into the broking market


Bunker firm is setting up an in-house broking department in Denmark.

A/S Dan-Bunkering Ltd. has announced that it is moving into the bunker broking market.

In an emailed statement, the company said that it is setting up an in-house broker department at its head office in Middelfart, Denmark, adding that the new inititative was being launched to support the requirements of a number of specific clients.

Henrik Zederkof, CEO at A/S Dan-Bunkering, commented: "We are dealing with all kinds of clients worldwide with all kinds of needs, and of course we would like to accommodate all of their different requirements to the extent possible. Dan-Bunkering has, by tradition, always been mainly a trading house, but if a specific client is asking for the broker way of doing business, we are certainly not dismissive. As a matter of fact, we see it as a great opportunity to make use of our long-standing expertise and knowledge in the broker market as well."

"Dan-Bunkering will continuously focus mainly on trading, however, the company will now also give broker clients the benefit of Dan-Bunkering’s concept: Best Bunker Buy," the company said.

Zederkof added: "We can use our expertise just as well by acting as brokers in close cooperation with our trading department, and our clients will only be benefitting from this and the large volumes we handle every day. We look very much forward to exploring this opportunity further and operating with our own set-up."
