"This year's result Dan-Bunkering continues to build on strong financial performances of the past fiscal year," Dan-Bunkering said.

Claus Bulch Klausen, CEO of Dan-Bunkering, remarked: "In a year characterised by geopolitical tensions and shifting demands across shipping segments, we are immensely proud of the results we have achieved. They are a testament to the great work from the teams around the world in navigating these challenges.

"The past financial year saw an increased focus on the transition towards decarbonisation. We have put increased effort into assisting our clients and suppliers in adapting to the recently implemented environmental regulations, such as the EU ETS scheme, and demands within for instance the alternative fuels space. We are therefore investing time and resources to assist our partners with finding the best way forward."
