Bunker supply and trading firm Bominflot has announced that it has launched a physical supply operation at the Spanish port of Valencia.

The company confirmed that it will be offering 380-centistoke (cst) ISO 8217:2010 quality fuel oil and DMA 0.1 percent marine gas oil (MGO) at the Mediterranean port.

Bominflot said its delivery barge will be loaded from independent tank facilities inside the port of Valencia, for which the company has signed a long term storage agreement.
