Chemoil, one of the world’s leading independent physical suppliers of marine fuel, has announced today the appointment of Liana Pietsch to its Greek sales and marketing team.

"Ms Pietsch, who has been involved in shipping since 1994, will add value to Chemoil’s marketing initiative from the company’s office in Athens," the company said in a statement.

Ms Pietsch has joined Chemoil after nine years of working in marketing and trading with Bominflot Hellas, and previously working for Eastern Mediterranean and other shipping companies, where she gained experience in the Greek shipping market.

Commenting on Ms Pietsch’s appointment, Costas Karanikolaou, General Manager of Chemoil International (GR) Pte Ltd, said: “Liana’s appointment provides support to our growing offering, as she brings with her real experience in sales and marketing within the bunker market and specifically the Greek shipping industry. This appointment comes on the back of a successful first year of operations, and we are now able to provide a more comprehensive service to Greek shipowners on a global basis.”

In addition to servicing the Greek shipping community, Chemoil’s sales and marketing office in Greece services the region’s bulk carrier market, and supports Chemoil’s very large crude carriers (VLCC) and tanker customers in line with the synergies from Chemoil’s dedicated tanker physical supply operations in the Gulf of Mexico and Port of Fujairah.
