Dan-Bunkering - one of the world’s leading suppliers of bunker fuels, lubricants and related products and services to vessels worldwide - has said that the launch of its new office in Singapore has proven to be a 'more than a success'.

Opened in May 2009, the office is said to have attracted a lot of market interest in just two months of trading.

"Expanding Dan-Bunkering’s already strong market position and offering clients and suppliers outstanding service is the new office’s primary goal," the company said in a statement.

"Globally speaking, the Singapore office is also of great importance to Dan-Bunkering Ltd. – not only because of the physical presence in the highly competitive and rapidly growing Singapore market, but also because of the attention the office enjoys. As Dan-Bunkering aims to be even more present and gain an even stronger market position, the positive attention is very beneficial," the company added.

The company said the principal reasons why the new office has enjoyed a successful start were the support of a 'financially strong' parent company and the dedication of its employees.

"With the opening of the Singapore office, Dan-Bunkering has not only created greater potential for growth but is also branding the company as a fast moving and innovative business," the company said.

The opening of the Singapore office was celebrated with a reception last month with more than 250 guests, including the Danish Ambassador in Singapore, Vibeke Rovsing Lauritzen.
