Leading bunker supplier and trader OW Bunker has announced that it will begin to supply low viscosity fuel oil in Rotterdam to its customers from the middle of this month.

The company said that it had decided to supply a range of low viscosity products - between 30-centistoke (cst) and 240-cst - due to an increase in demand following the launch of its barge Felicia.

OW Bunker said that it plans to supply approximately 100,000 metric tonnes of low viscosity fuel oil per year.

Commenting on the news, Vincent de Vos, Managing Director, OW Bunker Rotterdam, said: 'The increase in demand for low viscosity products clearly highlights the significant emphasis that customers place on utilizing quality fuel oil.

'Reliability is more important than ever, particularly in the current market, and it is vital that as a leading player in the region we utilize our capabilities and technical expertise to provide our customers with the grade of product that they want, when and where they need it.

'We believe that this trend of increased demand for lower viscosity fuel oil is likely to continue, and it is important as a business that we are well positioned to deliver it.'
