C-FUELS AMERICA INC. is a physical supplier and worldwide trader of bunker fuels and marine lubricants, delivering IFO 180, 380, MGO, MDO and an array of branded lubricants. C-Fuels America is the newest entity of the Caribbean Fuels group of companies, handling all commercial activities out of Miami.

Sister company, Carotrad Sarl, manages logistics out of the French Caribbean and French Guiana (South America). Currently a physical supplier of bunkers in the East Caribbean, they plan on expanding into new markets over the coming months. The company’s successful worldwide trading activities can be attributed to the vast network of suppliers spanning the globe and a small but efficient staff of traders experienced in serving all vessels types (cargo vessels, navy, yachts, tankers etc).

Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in the Caribbean, C-Fuels offers unmatched regional expertise, quality service and competitive prices. The company has found that much of its business is derived from other traders and brokers who lack the local knowledge the group has fastidiously obtained over its 10 years of service. But since the relocation of its headquarters from Guadeloupe in the Caribbean to Miami, Florida, the secret has been spreading rapidly.

The trend of internal growth and rapid international expansion that C-Fuels experienced in 2009 has carried over into 2010. With plans in the works for a fleet of supply tankers in the Caribbean and even more physical locations in the Americas, C-Fuels is lining up to become a major player. When asked about the company’s strategy for 2010, Caribbean Fuels’ President Denis Beauvarlet replies: “We wish to deliver convenience and competitive prices to our customers at even more ports. Our main goal is to offset high fuel prices in countries like the Dominican Republic and Haiti , which significantly increase operational costs for shippers.”

The company enjoys taking calculated risks as part of its growth strategy. One such tactic is to provide lines of credit to shipping companies with less than stellar marks in their credit reports. A balance of risk and security is achieved through the use of financial tools which cover the financial burden of supporting otherwise risky companies. With credit becoming an increasingly difficult commodity to come by these days, C-Fuels hopes to lend some reprieve to shippers struggling in this market.
