Integr8 Fuels snaps up Greek bunker firm


Trading team moves to Integr8 Fuels' office in Athens as part of the agreement.



Integr8 Fuels Inc. (formerly Integra Fuels LLC) has confirmed that it has reached an agreement with Piraeus-based bunker trading company Oils Overseas S.A., as a result of which Oils Overseas will "gradually transfer all of its bunkering activities to Integr8 Fuels and will cease its bunker trading operations over the coming months."

As part of the agreement, all of Oils Overseas' current bunker trading team, including Michael Sabethai, Popi Zorbanou and Chara Metafa will move to Integr8 Fuels’ office in Athens, Integr8 Fuels said.

Contact details for Integr8 Fuels' office in Athens have been provided below.

In addition to Athens, Integr8 Fuels also has offices in Houston, Wesport, London, Oslo, Cape Town and Dubai.

Formerly known as Integra Fuels LLC, the firm's name was changed to Integr8 Fuels Inc. in June 2013 as part of a "rebranding exercise designed to give Integr8 Fuels a more striking and distinctive brand and one that is more closely aligned with its Navig8 Group parent", the bunker company said last year.
