Cheshire-based marine fuel supplier ESL Fuels expanded marine gas oil (MGO) physical operations to Dagenham on River Thames in mid-June 2018; the development follows launch of physical operations at Stanlow in June 2017.
“The new location will complement our Stanlow and Immingham offerings and allow us to competitively service all UK Ports,” it said in a statement.
