Hong Kong-based marine fuel and lubricant trading company Hongkong E-Marine Supply Service Corporation Limited (E-Marine) on Friday (31 January) introduced its first Singapore-based trading staff to the bunkering sector, learned Manifold Times.
Travis Tey joins E-Marine as Global Marine Fuel Sales & Procurement Manager with immediate effect; he is responsible for marine fuel procurement for ports outside of China and South Korea, and heads the company’s customer sales outside of China.
Prior to his latest move, Mr Tey was mainly involved in sales and business development at several top bunker trading firms since joining the sector in 2011. Before his latest stint as Senior Bunker Trader at Delta Energy Fuel Supply & Trading, he has worked for Hanwa Singapore, World Kinect Corporation, Wan Xian Resources Singapore, and Asia Pacific Exchange (APEX).
“Travis, who understands the working culture between bunkering stakeholders within and outside Hong Kong and China, is the perfect person to carry out our organisation’s expansion plans into the international market,” shared Darcy Wang, Managing Director of E-Marine.
“Since the launch of our Singapore branch office in early 2024, E-Marine has successfully been operating as a bridge between ex-wharf players and local physical bunker suppliers since entering Singapore’s ex-wharf market.
“Having taken a year to establish a presence at Singapore – the world’s largest bunkering port – where many of our customers and bunker trading partners are based, we are now ready to use the republic as a launchpad to penetrate the global bunkering sector as part of our company’s next evolution.”
Mr Tey believes he will be able to contribute towards E-Marine’s success.
“E-Marine started operations as a small trader in 2016 and grew into a medium-sized trading house in the Covid-19 pandemic during 2023, which gradually prompted its expansion into Singapore,” he said.
“Working from the largest international bunker trading houses to several Chinese firms have given me the correct exposure, knowledge and mindset to take E-Marine to the next commercial level.
“I intend to carry on the good foundation laid out by Darcy and introduce the good name of E-Marine to the international scene.”
