Aegean takes delivery of bunker tanker


New-build will be deployed to Aegean's Gibraltar service center.

Independent bunker supplier Aegean Marine Petroleum Network has taken the delivery of the Mykonos, a 4,600dwt double-hull new-build bunker tanker from the Fujian Southeast Shipyard in China.

The Mykonos will be deployed to Aegean's Gibraltar service center, increasing the total number of vessels operating in this market to five. Including the Mykonos, Aegean has taken delivery of three newbuilds year-to-date and now has a total of 23 bunkering tankers in operation.

The company expects to take delivery of five additional double-hull newbuilds in 2008, another 13 in 2009, and six in 2010, which will more than double Aegean's bunker tanker fleet to 47 over the next two years.

Nikolas Tavlarios, President of Aegean, said: "We are pleased to take delivery of our seventh new-build from the Fujian Southeast Shipyard. As we continue to expand our logistics infrastructure, Aegean remains committed to further strengthening its position as the leading independent physical supplier of marine fuel globally."
