TFG Marine has expanded its Caribbean bunkering network into Venezuela, working alongside local distributor and operator Impordiesel to supply marine fuel along the country's coastline.

According to the company, customers will be able to access fuel at locations including Amuay, Puerto La Cruz, La Guaira, Guanta, Maracaibo, Puerto Cabello, El Guamache, José and the Boca de la Serpiente area.

The grades on offer include very low-sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO), high-sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) and low-sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO).

TFG Marine said deliveries would be available at designated ship-to-ship (STS) anchorage positions as well as at Venezuela's main ports, giving vessels transiting the region additional options for refuelling without deviating far from established shipping lanes.

Formed in 2020, TFG Marine is a joint venture between Trafigura, Frontline, and CMB.Tech, with Trafigura owning 70%, Frontline 15% and CMB.Tech 15% following revised shareholder arrangements on 1 June 2026. The company's supply operations cover Singapore, US Gulf, Long Beach, West and South Africa, Mauritius, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, English Channel, Malta, Ceuta, and the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region.
