Glander International Bunkering on Thursday (18 June) said its financial results for the fiscal year 2019/2020 were satisfactory following its successful preparations and execution for the industry’s transition to low-sulphur fuels.

The fiscal year 2019/2020 turned out to be an eventful and dramatic year with the implementation of the Marpol 2020 global sulphur cap as one of the most disruptive events in the marine industry, it noted.

 “This was an occasion where every bunkering company and its employees had to face the test of industry change and demonstrate their expertise and level of preparedness,” said  CEO Carsten Ladekjær.

“Our people leaned in, and it is very satisfying to see the results of all the hard work.”

The company announced its annual results with earnings in 2019/2020 before tax increasing from USD 15.74 million to USD 27.3 million equivalent to an increase of 73.56%. Total turnover increased by 19.4%.

For many months leading up to 1 January 2020, the company said its staff busily prepared for the transition to low-sulphur fuels. 

All departments of the organisation were involved at varying levels and a tailormade IMO 2020 in-house training program was rolled out, it added.

The COVID-19 pandemic, together with the development in oil prices and the world economy in general, will determine the coming year’s playing field and the next annual result.

“I would not be surprised if the coming year leads to more consolidation in the industry, with strong companies emerging even stronger,” added Ladekjær.

“With our sound financial foundation and strong organisation, we look forward to this with humility, but also optimism. 

We are prepared to face future challenges and remain ready to seize opportunities.”

Zhuhai Chimbusco Petroleum Co Ltd (Chimbusco Zhuhai), a subsidiary of China Marine Bunker (PetroChina) (Chimbusco), on Monday (6 July) said the company completed its first bunkering operation since receiving its local licence in Shenzhen. 

Chimbusco Marine Bunker (Shenzhen) completed the operation after supplying 1,300 metric tonnes (mt) of B24 marine biofuel oil for the Xin Chi Wan vessel, owned by COSCO Shipping Group, at the Shekou Container Terminal in Shenzhen.

The operation adopted the “cross-customs direct supply bunkering” model with the cooperation of Shenzhen and Gongbei Customs and maritime authorities.

Looking ahead, Chimbusco Marine Bunker (Shenzhen) said it will build on its local licensing and policy advantages to expand its bonded marine fuel bunkering business in Shenzhen.

The company plans to optimise its bunkering processes and improve service quality to help strengthen the city’s bonded marine fuel supply capabilities while supporting the shipping industry’s green transition.

The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Tuesday (7 July) revoked a licence that had temporarily authorised transactions involving crude oil, petrochemical products and petroleum products of Iranian origin.

Under the new licence, the purchase of Iranian crude oil, petrochemical products and petroleum products is prohibited with immediate effect.

The latest licence replaces an authorisation issued on 22 June, which had been scheduled to remain in force until 21 August. The previous authorisation permitted the bunkering of vessels engaged in the approved transactions.

Parties that entered into contracts for Iranian oil during the period in which the authorisation was in effect have until 17 July to wind down Iran-related transactions.

A Moscow court has reportedly ordered the transfer of assets belonging to Russian marine fuel supplier Transbunker to state ownership.

This comes following a lawsuit alleging the company was illegally controlled through offshore corporate structures, according to The Moscow Times. 

The ruling grants the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office’s claims in full and takes immediate effect. Prosecutors argued that Transbunker, one of Russia’s largest marine fuel suppliers, was subject to restrictions on foreign ownership because the companies within the group qualify as strategic enterprises. 

The case targets Transbunker founders Iosif Sandler and Sergei Pugachev, both Cypriot citizens, along with Transbunker Management CEO Yelena Zavyalova. 

Prosecutors alleged the founders concealed control of the group through offshore entities in jurisdictions including Cyprus and the British Virgin Islands, while transferring profits abroad. Authorities claim RUB 19.3 billion (USD 247 million) has been moved out of Russia since 2020.

Founded in 1991, Transbunker has developed a nationwide marine fuel supply network serving Russian ports in the Baltic, Black Sea and Far East. The group owns fuel terminals in Novorossiysk, Vanino, Sakhalin and the Leningrad region, among other assets.
