OW Bunker expands its Dubai team with the appointment of a new bunker trader.



OW Bunker, one of the world’s leading suppliers and traders of marine fuel, today announced the appointment of Christopher Tuason as a new bunker trader at its Dubai office.

Commenting on the news, OW Bunker said: "The appointment reflects the continued growth the company has realised in the Middle East over the past 12 months.

Customers are clearly responding to our global offering and our capabilities in providing not just quality products and services, but the ability to provide a fast turnaround on quotes at competitive prices, as well as added value services such as risk management. I am confident that Christopher’s experience of the industry and his market expertise will provide us with impetus for further growth within the region.”
