Major global bunker supplier and trader OW Bunker says that it has increased its cargo trading activities with the establishment of OW Bunker Trading SA, based in Geneva, Switzerland.
 
According to OW, the move is part of a natural process that sees it further enhance its capabilities and presence within the supply chain of the global bunker market.  With its significant physical presence in Northern and Western Europe, the company believes the  development creates one of the strongest cargo trading divisions within the bunkering industry and reinforces the company’s position as one of the world’s leading organisations in the fuel oil market.
 
A statement says: “The success of OW Bunker’s existing cargo trading team, as well as the strong financial position of the company, has acted as a catalyst for the development.  The new company is founded on utilising this to create a highly experienced team of skilled and internationally renowned traders, which includes Marc Harskamp and Raoul Oosthoek, who have joined the new company.”
 
Commenting on the move, Jane Dahl Christensen, Executive Vice President, OW Bunker says:
“The establishment of OW Bunker Trading SA further strengthens our existing cargo trading team, building on the significant success that they have already generated to create an operation with significant depth and even more experience.  Fundamentally it signals OW Bunker’s intention to continue its strategic expansion into sectors that present real opportunities, where our industry knowledge and understanding of the global oil markets, as well as our worldwide infrastructure, financial strength and trading expertise can act as a channel for further growth.”
