Orim Energy, an oil trading company that specialises in the blending and bunkering of sustainable marine energy, on Wednesday (11 June) said it has opened an office in Gibraltar and is fully geared to start bunkering operations in the region from mid-June 2025 onwards.

With the launch of its bunkering operations in the Strait of Gibraltar, the largest bunkering hub in the new MED-ECA zone (Emission Control Area), Orim Energy is strengthening its presence in the Mediterranean (MED) and renewing its commitment to fuelling cleaner, smarter shipping in the region.

“Creating a second operational foothold in the MED – the company already has operations in Malta – is a key step forward and fits Orim Energy’s growth strategy,” the company said on its website. 

“With its dedicated bunkering infrastructure – tanks and barges – and a highly experienced local team at the Gibraltar office, Orim Energy is fully geared to start reliable 24/7 bunker supply to all types of vessels in the region in June.”

The company added the introduction of the ECA zone – requiring all ships operating in the Mediterranean Sea to use compliant marine fuels not exceeding a 0.10% sulphur content – offers unique opportunities to optimise operational efficiency, while reducing environmental impact.
