“Our back-to-back business and large-scale [trading, -ed.] activities have thus been shut down as part of a process that we started earlier last year.”
According to Endofa’s new website, the company will now operate two offices, one in Boston, US and the other in Nice, France.
It is able to organise physical bunkering operations in Central US, the US, Ghana, Angola, France, Romania, Nigeria and Abidjan.
