Uni-Fuels Holdings (Uni-Fuels), a global provider of marine fuel solutions headquartered in Singapore, on Wednesday (2 April) announced the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates and the opening of a new office in Dubai.

The subsidiary, Uni-Fuels Middle East FZCO, also known as Uni-Fuels Dubai, is intended to expand the company’s ability to provide tailored marine fuel solutions, customer support and serve the growing needs of the maritime industry in the Middle East and beyond.

“Dubai’s dynamic business environment and strategic location as one of the world’s busiest shipping hubs make it an ideal base for Uni-Fuels to deepen its regional partnerships and optimise fuel supply chains for clients,” said Uni-Fuels Senior Vice President, Commercial, Alan Tan. 

The new office in Dubai will serve as Uni-Fuels’ regional hub for real-time market insights and efficient fuel procurement, ensuring seamless operations for shipowners and operators worldwide.

The new location will provide direct access to fuel procurement expertise, competitive pricing, and innovative solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the maritime sector.

“Clients at our Dubai office can expect enhanced support, optimised operations, and an expanded and more resilient supply network across critical shipping routes,” he said.

“With this expansion, Uni-Fuels continues to solidify its reputation as a trusted partner in the provision of marine fuel solutions, ensuring reliability, efficiency, and excellence in marine fuel supply across the globe.”
