SEKAVIN and GCL to strengthen marine fuel supply and logistics in key bunkering hubs

Global trader and physical supplier of marine fuels and lubricants SEKAVIN on Monday (10 March) said it has entered a strategic partnership with Global Chartering Limited (GCL), the joint venture between Arcelor Mittal and Drylog, to enhance fuel procurement, logistics efficiency, and sustainability in maritime operations.

The partnership will initially focus on key strategic bunkering locations, with plans to expand as market demands and sustainability initiatives evolve.

Combining GCL’s expertise across the entire shipping value chain, with SEKAVIN’s presence across 400 ports and supplier network of more than 200 suppliers, the partnership is designed to improve fuel security, cost efficiency, and transparency. 

The collaboration will also explore new approaches to alternative marine fuels and emissions reduction, aligning with the industry’s broader sustainability goals.

Yannis Haramis, CEO of GCL, said: “This partnership reflects the natural synergies between our businesses and the increasing need for integrated solutions in global shipping.”

Sifis Vardinoyannis, CEO of SEKAVIN, said: “By working together, we are reinforcing our commitment to ensuring a stable and future-ready fuel supply for the fleet and the wider industry.”
