A new physical supplier in Turkish ports and global trading company with offices in both Istanbul and Izmir has started operations in Turkey.
Unerco Petroleum has been granted with a physical supply licence on 27 June 2019 and preparations are underway to start deliveries in Istanbul and surrounding ports soon.
The company’s management team is led by its CEO Ufuk Erinc, together with his fellow shareholders, Erdem Coker (Head of Commercial) and Utku Unlu (Head of Supply), all formerly of Arkas Bunker. The trio is assisted by a team of seven.
Each of the management team has more than 20 years of experience in shipping, physical bunkering, trading and supply as well as a full sea career before that.
“As a team, we have achieved the status of being the top supplier in Turkey for almost a decade. However, our motivation, ambitions and mindset is looking beyond national borders,” said Ufuk Erinc.
“We are proud of our achievements, but resting on the past is not our style; we want to create a global leader in bunkering out of Turkey and for that we had to establish the right platform.”
The company says it will have its own leased tanks and dedicated modern chartered-in tonnage for “total control” of cargo, freight, storage and supply as part of preparation efforts for IMO 2020.
