Bunkers International Corp. has announced that it is back to full capacity in port of Buenaventura, Colombia after recovery from severe winter floods.

Recently, Bunkers International had increased its storage capacity at the Pacific Coast port and intends to add a new barge for it to be in service during the summer of this year.

"The increased capacity and fleet of three barges enables the company to ensure good supply service and will enable the firm to accommodate larger orders," the company said in a statement.

Bunkers International supplies both intermediate fuel oil (IFO) and gasoil products at Buenaventura. IFO products at the port have both low sulphur (1.3%) and low metal content.

“We are excited to be back to full capacity in Buenaventura”, said John Canal, CEO of Bunkers International. “Along with our partners we are investing in the future of the port, which has good potential for traffic growth. As our customers need more we will be there to deliver for them in Buenaventura.”

Bunkers International has been expanding operations globally since 2000, creating new operations in Colombia, New York, the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malta, Turkey, and South Africa. The company has significantly increased its trading division, helping 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 global market," the company said.
