Florida-based marine fuel supplier Bunkers International Corp. has announced that it has resumed full bunker operations for IFO marine fuel in the port of Buenaventura, Colombia, after a supply disruption over the past few months.

The company said that it is now able to offer high-quality straight-run IFO fuel at Colombia's leading Pacific Ocean port, helping to meet demand from customers with operations on the west coast of South America.

Commenting on the news, John Canal, President of Bunkers International said “We are very pleased to have resumed operations. We now have a complete complement of IFO fuels available in Buenaventura, at competitive prices. And we are continuing to provide the service and support customers have come to expect from Bunkers International."

In a statement released by Bunkers International, the company said the marine fuels it provides in Buenaventura are low in both vanadium and metal content. Low sulfur fuel is also available for customers needing to meet stricter environmental requirements.

Bunkers International has been expanding operations globally since 2000, creating new operations in Colombia, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Turkey, South Africa, and recently in New York. The company says that it has significantly increased its trading division, which in turn has helped drive a six-fold increase in revenue in the past four years.

"With strong capitalization, a global customer base of thousands of ship operators, and supply operations on both coasts of Colombia, Bunkers International is well positioned to serve the South American market," the company said.
