New O.W. Bunker office in Uruguay
MARITIME SERVICE: O.W. Bunker, one of the world's leading suppliers and traders of marine fuel, has launched physical operations in Uruguay. With offices already in Panama and Chile, the new Uruguay operation will extend the company's presence in South America
"South America is a critical market for our customers. We are wholly focused on ensuring that we can provide quality products and supply, as well as developing our physical operations as part of our ongoing commitment to customers", says Götz Lehsten, Vice President, OW Bunker.
As global market makers, OW Bunker has the capability to be flexible in its pricing to ensure that customers have the best deal.
Customers also have access to the company's global risk management division, who will work closely with them to develop hedging strategies that manage the volatility of fuel and crude oil prices. This is based on when and where customers need supply, locking in costs and driving profits.
OW Bunker has its state-of-the-art, double-hulled bunker barge, M/T OW Baltic providing supplies in the region. Customers can be supplied with a full range of fuel products up to IFO 380 cSt that are tested to full ISO specifications; customers are also provided with a quality certificate as proof of this.
OW Bunker also uses a flow meter to measure the precise quantity of fuel that is delivered to ensure that customers receive exactly what they have requested.
To maximise efficiencies, OW Baltic has a pumping capacity of up to 700 m3 per hour, and customers can take deliveries either in port in Montevideo as well as at anchorage areas.
