OW is awarded contract to supply Shell's full range of marine lubricants in Brazil.

OW Bunker, one of the world's largest suppliers and traders of marine fuel and lubricants, today announced that it has been awarded a contract by Shell Brazil to supply marine lubricants to domestic customers.

OW Bunker Brazil is now responsible for the sale, supply and distribution of Shell's full range of marine lubricants in the south, southeast and northeast (not including Maranhão State) regions of Brazil.

Flavio Ribeiro, Managing Director, OW Bunker Brazil, commented: “This is a significant contract for OW Bunker Brazil, and highlights the strength of our operations in the region, as well as the development of our global lubricants offering. We look forward to working with customers, and providing them with the right lubricant and fuel products that meet the demands of their operations.”

OW Bunker Brazil can provide customers with the full range of Shell marine lubricants, including high-performance diesel-ending cylinder oils, trunk-piston engine oils and specialist greases.
