UK’s bunker supplier Propeller Fuels partners with Proteus Supply to expand Americas presence

US-based Proteus Supply and Trading and Propeller Fuels Ltd UK on Friday (17 July) announced a new commercial partnership commencing on 1 July 2026. 

Both companies commenced operations in 2017. Proteus Supply began operations as a niche trading company and MGO supplier in the South Florida market focusing on the commercial shipping and yachting markets. 

Propeller Fuels is a UK-based bunker supplier with a successful international trading business growing extensively to cover a wide global footprint including offices in UK, Greece, Dubai, and Singapore. 

Propeller Fuels can add to its expansion now with the Florida physical operations and further trading coverage in the Americas. Combined, the companies have global reach and the resources to increase their marketing focus for their global clientele with expertise covering the US east coast, the Caribbean, the US Gulf and South America. 

Robert Thompson, CEO of Propeller Fuels, said: We are delighted with this partnership which is with people we already know and trust over many years. It augments our continued growth and development and gives our group a presence in the important Americas market, something which was always in our business growth plan. 

“Doing so with a physical proposition, serving many high-level blue-chip clients, is all the better. We intend to provide Proteus the resources to further expand their excellent value-added service into other areas and to support the group with expansion in the wider America’s markets.”
