FLEX Commodities launches physical bunker supply operations in Namibia

Dubai-based bunker trading firm FLEX Commodities DMCC (FLEX) has officially launched physical bunker supply operations in Namibia, according to Maaz Ahmed, Trading Director at FLEX on Thursday (27 November). 

Maaz said this marked the first step in a “transformative expansion” across the West Africa region.

Backed by years of trading experience and a detailed understanding of West Africa’s supply chain, FLEX has entered the Namibian market with full operations. The company has begun activity in Walvis Bay and Lüderitz.

“Through a strong joint venture, FLEX guarantees seamless port coordination, regulatory compliance, and smooth operations from nomination through delivery,” Maaz said. 

FLEX offers ISO-compliant products including VLSFO (RMG 380) & LSMGO (DMA 0.1%), which will be delivered using a SIRE-approved barge, SPLENDOUR OPAL.

“This launch is just the beginning. FLEX is positioning itself as a leading physical supplier across West Africa, committed to raising the bar in reliability, operational excellence, and customer value,” he added.
