Established in 2007, Gazpromneft Marine Bunker, a bunker subsidiary of JSC Gazprom Neft, executes the supply of oil products for vessels to the ports of Russia. Gazpromneft Marine Bunker is one of the leading suppliers in the Russian bunker market with an expected turnover of almost 1,500,000 mt by the end of 2009.

Gazpromneft Marine Bunker provides a guaranteed, efficient, all year round supply, with high quality ISO8217-2005 compliant fuels including marine fuels and distillates.

Gazpromneft Marine Bunker’s strategy focuses on operations in the Russian North-West region, the Far East, the Black Sea region and the Russian Rivers.

Gazprom Neft’s main oil refineries are situated in the Moscow, Yaroslavl and Omsk areas. This range of locations makes it possible to cover nearly all the ports in Russia. Nowadays, Gazpromneft Marine Bunker operates in the major Russian ports of St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Ust-luga, Primorsk, Arkhangelsk, Murmansk, Vladivostok, Nakhodka, Vanino, Kavkaz, Novorossiysk, Tuapse, Yaroslavl, Kazan, Volgograd, Astrakhan, Rostov-on-Don and Azov.

Gazpromneft Marine Bunker is now investing heavily in building a developed infrastructure including terminals in the main Russian ports and a bunkering fleet in order to form an advanced diversified proprietary network of distribution and logistics. The highly integrated logistic network “from the refinery to the bunker tanks” will lead to cost minimisation and a much faster service in general.

One of the unique selling proposals of Gazpromneft Marine Bunker is the permanent availability of low-sulphur products, which are received directly from the Omsk refinery. This factor is of crucial importance for the North West region, where the content of sulphur in the oil is highly restricted by MARPOL VI legislation. The Omsk refinery is one of the few production sites in Russia that can produce fuels with low-sulphur content.

The well-organized proprietary logistic network makes it possible to conclude and support long-term wide scale contracts directly with the shipowners and the main world broker companies focusing on flexible pricing system. Gazpromneft Marine Bunker has an excellent two-year experience of furnishing cruise vessel contracts with Royal Caribbean International and Carnival Cruise Lines and we are looking forward to increasing our selling volumes for the cruise vessels in future navigation periods.

Gazpromneft Marine Bunker is a subsidiary of one of the biggest corporations in Russia, Gazprom Neft and is a state-owned company. Gazpromneft Marine Bunker is focused on improving its operating and economic performance, minimising costs and raising its capitalisation.

Our team of bunker traders and logistic operators are challenged to become, and remain, your long-term reliable partner, thorough knowledge of bunker markets, experience, competence and efficient, friendly service.
