Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc has confirmed the launch of a bunker trading office in Dubai.

The operation has started with a team of two experienced bunker traders and the support of one operational assistant.

"We are pleased to confirm that Aegean has a bunker trading team in Dubai which will boost our relationship with customers and suppliers in the Middle East and Indian subcontinent," said Jonathan Mcilroy, Bunker Trading Manager at Aegean.

"The group has a long history in Fujairah and Khor Fakkan as a physical supplier and adding a back-to-back trading team is the next step in expanding our market presence with clients in the region."

Aegean's trading team in Dubai includes Sherin Sheriff (Trading Manager, Middle East) and Hany Saad (Supply Manager, Middle East).
