Peninsula has announced the expansion of its physical supply operations in the United Arab Emirates with the addition of Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali.

The marine fuel supplier, which is already active in the region, performing deliveries in Fujairah, Dubai, Sharjah and Khor Fakkan, said that it had secured bunker licences for both additional ports and that it will be providing "a full range of products from dedicated logistics".

The operations in Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali are to be commercially managed from Peninsula's regional base in Dubai, with operational support provided by its team in Fujairah.

John Bassadone, Peninsula CEO, commented: "Expansion into Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali is a progressive step for Peninsula as we continue to grow our Middle East footprint.

"The UAE is home to some of the world's most strategically located and advanced ports. Jebel Ali Port is a top-ten global container port, while Abu Dhabi is a key maritime trade and logistics hub.

"The move further extends our unrivalled physical supply network across the Mediterranean and Suez and reflects our commitment to meeting our customers' needs at a global level."

Alex Lyra, Global Head of Supply & Trading for Peninsula, added: "Extending our physical supply network into these additional locations will enable us to offer customers flexibility and tailored optionality to meet their needs.

"We have already secured a strong flow of business at the new ports, which is testament to the confidence our customers have in our offering."
