New bunker supplier in US Gulf


Atlantic Gulf Bunkering to begin supplying in Mobile, Gulfport and Pascagoula.

Atlantic Gulf Bunkering LLC has today formally announced its formation and the commencement of marine fuel bunker supply operations in the US Gulf region, beginning in the month of August.

The company says that it will begin offering marine fuels in Mobile, Gulfport, Pascagoula and surrounding areas. In the future, Atlantic Gulf says it plans to expand its reach into other ports and locations, as well as expand into deep water port development.

Atlantic Gulf is bringing into service a 2800-metric-tonne double hull barge and plans to bring in additional barges in the future.

The company will be offering a full range of marine fuel products including a full complement of intermediate fuel oil (IFO) products, ranging from 30-centistoke (cst) to 380-cst, low sulphur fuel oil (LSFO), marine gasoil (MGO), marine diesel oil (MDO), low sulphur MGO, diluents, lubricants, and custom fuel blends.

Marine fuel deliveries will be carried out by barge and by truck. In addition the company says that cargoes will also be available to interested parties.

Atlantic Gulf will be working from several shore storage facilities in the region as the company aims to ensure that it is able to consistently have the products and specifications required by its customers.

"We are very excited about the formation of our company and its launch into the strategically important bunkering region of the U.S. Gulf," said Kirk Callais, Sales Manager for Atlantic Gulf Bunkering. "With our experienced staff and resources, we will be able to provide customers with custom blends and low sulphur fuels that meet today’s emission requirements. We are looking forward to serving the market."

Atlantic Gulf is also announcing the appointment of two key employees. Kirk Callias has joined the company as sales manager, bringing with him over 30 years of experience in the marine fuels market. He is joined by Samuel Carroll, who also brings over 30 years’ experience in bunkering and who will be operations manager for the firm.

Several other employees are also said to be in the process of joining the firm. People interested in applying for a role within the company may email their CV to careers@agbllc.com.
