OceanConnect Marine has relocated its office on the East Coast of the United States from Stamford, Connecticut, to Manhattan, New York, the company has told Bunker Index.

The bunker trader and broker's new office building is located at 330 Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan - almost a stone's throw away from the iconic Chrysler Building.

OceanConnect Marine is wholly owned by commodity trading and mining giant Glencore, which, according to real estate industry reports, inked a 60,000-square-foot lease for the entire seventh floor and part of the sixth floor of the Madison Avenue office tower around a year ago.

OceanConnect Marine is one of the few bunker firms to be based in Manhattan. NYSE-listed Aegean Marine Petroleum is also located in Midtown, on Park Avenue, whilst Cosulich-owned trading and broking firm Asamar is based further south on Broadway, near Wall Street.

The new contact details for OceanConnect Marine, including updated phone number, have been provided below and can also be accessed via the Bunker Index directory.
