Adoil Petroleum, the only licensed independent bunker supplier in Aden, was founded at the beginning of 2009, commencing its operation in July of that year. The company is built on the dedication and experience of its team, particularly Nick Koutsoumbos, its representative in Greece, with his 30 years in the shipping and bunker markets in London.

As the bunker market is aware, before Adoil started operating there, the port of Aden was a ‘subject to enquiry’ port. Now, however, its biggest concern is managing the fresh demand flooding in from vessels seeking bunkers, who know Adoil is a name they can trust.

Adoil has a bold vision and is committed to revitalising Aden, a port which has always held great potential with its quality resources and proximity to main shipping routes. Combined with easy access to the bunker wharf, high-rate supply ex-pipe and a fast turnaround, Aden also offers a level of efficiency, reliability and convenience to match any bunkering port in the world.

Our record speaks for itself. During the seven months Adoil has been in operation, neither the office in Greece nor that in Aden, at the heart of our operations, has received a single complaint from our customers concerning either the quality of our products, or the service we provide to our customers.

Adoil’s plans for the future are to turn Aden into one of the major bunkering hubs in this part of the world, providing regular supplies, good quality products and high standards of service. All this while also maintaining competitive prices, not only matching those of other bunkering ports in the region, but at times offering even lower, as occurred recently.

Our expectation is that demand will outstrip what we had initially anticipated. In order to facilitate this, the deployment of a barge will be necessary for supplies at the outer anchorage, something which we hope to address in the not too distant future.

In conclusion, may we suggest to the bunker market that whenever looking to lift bunkers in the region, it may be worth also checking out our price levels for comparison, as there is a strong possibility that you may be pleasantly surprised.
