KPI Bridge Oil, a trader and broker of marine fuels, marine lubricants and risk management products, has extended its physical supply services to provide additional options for ship owners in the port of Esbjerg in Denmark.

KPI Bridge Oil Denmark (formerly A/S Trumf Bunker) has chartered the barge Foniks Supporter, which has the capacity to store up to 370 cubic metres of marine gas oil (MGO) with a maximum sulphur content of 0.1 percent.

In a statement, the company said: "Since becoming part of the KPI Bridge Oil Group, KPI Bridge Oil Denmark has enabled the group's business partners to benefit from additional services, most notably the capacity to offer physical supply throughout Denmark. The exciting new development headed by managing director Kenni Goldenbeck means that KPI Bridge Oil is able to offer flexible physical supply services to suit each and every requirement."

Commenting on the company's latest development, Goldenbeck [pictured] said: "We are very pleased to have a barge in Esbjerg where we've had a lot of business over the years, and the growing demand for fuel services shows that there are still further opportunities in the port. We offer the whole package, supplying by barge, ex pipe and truck. Our plans and ambitions are to broaden our physical supply services and capabilities where they are needed."

Esbjerg is Denmark's largest offshore port, where more than 4.5 million tonnes of cargo pass through and almost 6,500 vessels call every year.

"KPI Bridge Oil's clients receive a guaranteed quality of service and the peace of mind of partnering with a single reputable service provider who is privately owned, financially strong and who does not pledge invoices to third parties," the company said.
