OW Bunker, one of the world’s largest suppliers and traders of marine fuels and lubricants, today announced the launch of a Nordic Waters operation to provide a single point of contact and an end-to-end fuel supply solution across the entire region. The combined coverage provided by the Nordic Waters unit, serviced by a fleet of seven bunkering vessels operating in the region, makes it one of the world’s largest maritime physical fuel supply operations in terms of area covered.
