Unimot Group launches physical bunker fuel supply operation in Polish ports

Independent fuel and energy group Unimot Group on Wednesday (13 March) said it has entered Poland’s bunker market with the first marine fuel delivery to Fairplay Towage Polska’s tug Fairplay VII.

The operation took place on 11 March in the port in Gdynia. 

The bunkering activities of the Unimot Group will be carried out based on two of the nine fuel terminals that belong to Unimot Terminale, located in Gdańsk and Szczecin.

The Unimot Group has commenced physical deliveries of MGO DMA, carried out by road tankers, in the ports of Gdańsk and Gdynia.

In the second half of April this year, the Group plans to expand its operations in the area of supplies of the same bunker fuel to ports in Szczecin, Świnoujście and Police.

Robert Brzozowski, Commercial Vice-President of the Management Board, Unimot S.A., said: “We are happy to be able to enter a new, promising market.”

“This is another important step towards the diversification of the Unimot Group’s activities, aimed at increasing its presence on the market and expanding its services.” 

“We strive to maximally use the potential offered by fuel terminals and their infrastructure, as well as our know-how based on over 30 years of presence of the Unimot Group on the Polish market.”

The Unimot Group added it was considering a possible expansion of its activities in the delivery of residual type bunker fuels, VLSFO and HSFO, carried out by bunker vessels based on the planned expansion of the terminal infrastructure in Gdańsk’.
