Chemoil to supply in New Orleans


Leading supplier to re-enter the New Orleans bunker market after an absence of six years.

SGX Mainboard-listed Chemoil, one of the world’s leading independent physical suppliers of marine fuel, has today announced that it will commence deliveries in the US Gulf Coast port of New Orleans from February 1, 2010.

"Chemoil is confident that the addition of this important and strategic bunkering port will provide customers with more choice and flexibility when procuring bunker fuel in the region," Chemoil said in a statement.

Adrian Tolson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, added “Chemoil is pleased to be re-entering the New Orleans bunker market after an absence of six years. New Orleans remains an important bunkering port and strategically fits very well for Chemoil as part of our wider offering throughout the US Gulf and Central America - in Houston, offshore US Gulf and Panama.

“Today’s announcement further consolidates Chemoil’s position as the leading supplier of bunker fuel in the region and confirms our ambition to provide customers with the same quality and assurance they have come to expect from us wherever they are in the world.”

Chemoil said it will offer both IFO 380 and Marine Gasoil (MGO) from New Orleans port.
