Specifically, the marine segment generated gross profit of USD 37.2 million in Q3 2024, an increase of 7% on year from USD 34.6 million in Q3 2023, principally due to a higher profit contribution from the company’s resale businesses.

“Looking forward, we remain dedicated to driving growth in our core business activities, worldwide, while continuing to refine our land portfolio, which should further enhance our operating efficiencies and improve returns.”

Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited (Uni-Fuels), a global provider of marine fuel solutions headquartered in Singapore, on Tuesday (26 May) announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The company reported that marine fuel volumes increased 58% year-over-year to over 140,000 metric tonnes (mt) during the first quarter of 2026, reflecting increased commercial activities and customer engagements across key markets.

Revenue during that period increased 64% year-over-year to USD 83.2 million, supported primarily by higher marine fuel trading volumes and expanded commercial activities, while gross profit increased 85% year-over-year to USD 1.8 million.

Gross profit margin improved to 2.2% in the first quarter of 2026 from 1.9% in the same period last year.

Uni-Fuels posted a net loss of USD 376,087 for the quarter, compared to USD 83,513 in Q1 2025. 

Following a stronger-than-expected first quarter 2026 performance and improved visibility on commercial activities, the company is increasing its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of USD 320 million to USD 340 million up from its prior guidance of USD 310 million to USD 330 million.

“We are encouraged by a promising start to 2026, which reflects the continued execution of our growth strategy,” said Mr. Koh Kuan Hua, Chief Executive Officer of Uni-Fuels. 

“During the quarter, we delivered year-over-year growth in revenue and marine fuel volumes, and improved gross margins. Operational performance remained strong, although quarterly results were impacted by a net loss primarily attributable to corporate communication expenses incurred during the period. 

“We remain focused on building on this momentum through disciplined execution of our growth initiatives, driving consistent performance, and improving returns on capital. Based on our strong first quarter performance and improving commercial visibility, we are pleased to raise our full year 2026 revenue outlook to USD 320 million – USD 340 million.”

Monjasa 2025 bunker sales volume steady at 6.8 million mt, on par with 2024 high

Monjasa Annual Report 2025 – at a glance

  • Total revenue: USD 4 billion (2024: USD 4.5 billion)
  • Net profit: USD 39 million (2024: USD 65 million)
  • Consolidated equity: USD 472 million (2024: USD 444 million)
  • Equity ratio: 64.7% (2024: 55.6%)
  • Total supply operations: 16,741 (2024: 15,870)
  • Total number of employees: 745 (2024: 678)

Marine fuel supplier Monjasa on Wednesday (29 April) recorded a net result of USD 39 million for 2025, a 40% drop from the USD 65 million reported in 2024. 

2024 was the company’s third-strongest year ever when looking at financial performance.

In another year characterised by geopolitics shaping global shipping, Monjasa’s marine fuels activities delivered a total volume of 6.8 million metric tonnes (mt) in 2025 – on par with the Group’s largest reported volume in 2024.

Across its core business activities, trading and supply operations continued to serve global customers reliably. While the Group’s trading activities proved very dynamic, supply operations were more directly exposed to the muted global demand and a less favourable tanker market.

A balanced fleet of owned and chartered vessels made it possible to respond quickly to changing market dynamics and Monjasa concluded the year with a total fleet size of 28 vessels (2024: 33) deployed worldwide.

Monjasa Group CEO, Anders Østergaard, said: “We are satisfied with our financial performance in a year where global trade grew modestly and where momentum weakened as the year progressed. 

“For Monjasa, this meant an overall muted global marine fuels demand. In such a year, we are pleased to keep evolving our global team of colleagues on land and at sea, strengthen our balance sheet and position ourselves well for future opportunities.”

Monjasa’s core strength lies in serving shipowners and operators globally through one commercial entrance and a single global brand – Illustrated by 16,741 successful supply operations carried out across 877 ports in 2025.

To further support this ambition, Monjasa opened its 15th international office in Japan, expanding the Group’s presence in Asia and supporting closer integration of Monjasa’s global maritime services.

During the year, Monjasa also made a strategic decision to fully integrate crew management into the Group’s core business. By taking full responsibility for the recruitment and education of seafarers through its technical ship management company, Montec, the Group strengthened the link between shipowning and long-term operational reliability.

Monjasa reported total revenue of USD 4 billion in 2025 (2024: USD 4.5 billion). The year resulted in a net profit of USD 39 million (2024: USD 65 million) and led to a further strengthening of the Group’s balance sheet, with consolidated equity increasing to an all-time high USD 472m (2024: USD 444m).

These results lifted Monjasa’s equity ratio to 64.7% (2024: 55.6%), underlining the Group’s financial resilience and long-term stability.

Future outlook

Following the eruption of the Middle East crisis in late February 2026, Monjasa has experienced the disrupted global trade flows, strong tanker markets and imbalanced supply and demand first-hand. These factors contribute to a highly dynamic marine fuels market compared to 2025 levels.

Overall, Monjasa expects 2026 to be another positive financial year, with a projected net result in the range of USD 120 to 150 million.

World Kinect marine fuels segment gross profit up 86% on year for Q1 2026

New York-listed global energy management company World Kinect Corporation (WKC) on Thursday (23 April) recorded a 18% on year increase in gross profit for the first quarter (Q1) of 2026.

The company posted gross profit of USD 271.2 million in Q1 2026, 17.7% higher than gross profit of USD 230.4 million seen during Q1 2025.

Revenue for its combined aviation, land and marine segments in Q1 2026 was USD 9.69 billion, a 2.5% decrease from revenue of USD 9.45 billion in Q1 2025.

Specifically, the marine segment generated gross profit of USD 66.4 million in Q1 2026, up by 86% on year from USD 35.7 million in Q1 2026.

This was primarily driven by significantly higher bunker fuel prices, elevated price volatility, and strong execution supported by disciplined risk management in a dynamic market environment.

In total, WKC sold 3.9 million metric tonnes (mt) of bunker fuel during Q1 2026, up by 4% from 3.7 million mt of marine fuels during the similar period of last year.

“This strong performance marks our third best quarter on record for marine. We entered the quarter expecting a low price, lower volatility environment,” Jose-Miguel Tejada, Executive VP & CFO, said in a recent earnings call as quoted by Seeking Alpha.

“However, in March, conditions shifted quickly with volatility increasing sharply and average bunker prices rising approximately 70% month-over-month. By leveraging our supplier relationships and strong balance sheet, the team did what they do best and executed extremely well, supporting our customers while capturing strong risk-adjusted returns in our core resale business and in our physical inventory locations.”

He said the company is expecting marine gross profit to be lower sequentially as pricing volatility moderate for the second quarter of the year, though gross profit should be meaningfully higher year-over-year.
