Pakistan: Supplier reveals expansion plans


Bunker firm to expand existing fleet of bunker delivery vessels.



Pakistan's Ocean Bunkers says it is in the process of adding two barges to its existing fleet of bunker delivery vessels.

The company says construction of one of its new self-propelled oil barges is already underway and is expected to be ready within the next 3-4 months.

The company currently operates four barges and a fleet of road tank wagons (RTWs). The four vessels are:

Bunker barge Ocean I

Bunker barge Ocean II

Bunker barge Ocean IV

Bunker barge Ocean V

The last vessel to be added to the Ocean Bunker fleet was the Ocean II in June 2011.

Ocean Bunkers delivers 180-centistoke RME 180 fuel, DMB marine diesel oil (MDO) and DMA marine gasoil (MGO) to clients calling at Port Muhammad Bin Qasim, Karachi and Gwadar. It is able to supply up to 1000 tonnes of 180-cst and 150 tonnes of MGO in one delivery.

Launched in 2010, the company is headed by experienced marine fuels professional Muhammad Yousuf, who has been involved in the bunker industry since 1994.

Yousuf previously held the position of Director, International Marine Sales at Karachi-based Orion Bunkers, where he was also a partner and responsible for financial matters.

The company's financial controller, Fauzia Naz, is said to be "well versed in financial matters" with 11 years' experience working in related posts.
