UK-based Propeller Fuels expands supply ops to selected Irish ports

Propeller Fuels Limited, a UK-based physical supplier of gasoil to the marine sector, recently announced the ability to supply to ports in Northern Ireland and the Northern Part of the Republic of Ireland.

These ports include, but are not limited to, Belfast, Carrickfergus, Larne, Londonderry, Warrenpoint, Greenore and Dundalk.

Plans are underway to perform deliveries throughout the rest of the Republic of Ireland also in the not too distant future.

This latest move is done in conjunction with Nicholl Fuel Oils, 50% owner of Oil NRG and the largest private oil distributor in Northern Ireland and joint owner of Puma Energy Belfast; which in turn owns and operates the 170,000 cbm ex BP Belfast Oil Terminal.

In addition, Nicholl operates a large fleet of trucks of all sizes, plus numerous oil depots scattered strategically around Northern Ireland.

“We are delighted to be expanding our supply scope to this important region and maintaining our positive growth momentum,” said Robert Thompson, Managing Director of Propeller Fuels.

“This particular step is especially pleasing as it formally brings into our service proposition our existing partner and shareholder, Nicholl Fuels, a market leader with whom we are proud and humbled to be associated.”

Propeller Fuels, affiliated to UK Oil distributor, Oil NRG, commenced supplying in the Northeast UK market late 2017. The service is supported by the resources of Oil NRG, including 80+ trucks and 5 operating fuel depots.

During 2018 and early 2019 Propeller Fuels expanded its services to the rest of the UK, driven in part by Oil NRG’s acquisition of Southern UK based Conquest Oil, coupled with its own organic growth.
