Transbunker Group - Marine Fuel Bunkering

Transbunker Group's strategy is to specialize in bunkering, directing our forces to build up a reliable service to supply high-quality fuel at any time at any place round the globe.

To achieve this goal we have built a full infrastructure of bunkering, refineries and effective company management.

MARINE FUEL BUNKERING

Transbunker Group has worked in the rapidly developing bunker market for more than 15 years. The company is now considered as the most dynamic among bunkering operators of Russia and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) because of its policy to supply only high-quality fuel and following the most up-to-date trends in modern maritime business.

The core activities of the Transbunker Group are bunkering and cargo trading, supported by owned oil storage facilities in its main markets, access to products via direct contacts with refineries across the CIS as well as own crude processing facilities, and a fleet of about 15 seagoing product tankers and barges.

The biggest oil terminal belonging to Transbunker Group is in Vanino, Far East. It’s a modern sophisticated facility included an oil tank farm with a total capacity of 220,000m³, an automated blending unit for production of bunker fuels, three berths accommodating tankers up to 80,000dwt, and a laboratory for quality control.

The firm today has its own mini crude oil processing unit with annual capacity of around 500,000t. This refinery produces bunker-grade material for Bunker Holdings.

BUNKERING SERVICES FOR CRUISE LINERS

There are many cruise line operators buying bunkering services from Transbunker in many different areas. During the summer tourist seasons in St. Petersburg we have supplied m/v 'Silver Whisper', 'Silver Cloud', 'Westerdam', and many other major cruise liners.

In the Russian Far East, in Nahodka and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsk we have supplied unique ice breaker cruise vessels voyaging to Antarctica: m/v 'Kapitan Khlebnikov', m/v 'Explorer' operated by Quark and V Ships USA, and many other vessels in different ports of the Black Sea and other regions.

RUSSIAN FAR EAST BUNKERING

The Group today has two oil terminals in the Russian Far East, namely Kholmsk oil terminal (8,000m³) and Nakhodka oil terminal (18,300m³). In addition to providing bunker supplies in these ports, Bunker Holdings also supplies fuels at fishing grounds in the Sea of Japan, Sea of Okhotsk, Bering Sea and north-west Pacific.

The group's bunkering activities in the Black Sea are supported by the 80,000m³ Yuzhnyy oil terminal in the Ukraine.

BALTIC SEA BUNKERING

The latest major terminal expansion sees the arrival of Bunker Holdings in to Baltic Sea, St. Petersburg, where the Group has already completed construction an oil and bunkering terminal which will initially have some 12,000m³ capacity, but is slated to have a total storage capacity of 52,000m³ upon completion.

Having become one of the largest independent bunker suppliers in the CIS during its first 15 years, the long-term objective of the Transbunker Group is to become one of largest bunker player in Europe, and considering the Baltic and North Sea regions as the next potential expansion areas for the Group.
