This commercial partnership is expected to unify Djibouti-based Red Sea Bunkering’s operational experience and Bunker One’s experience in the supply chain.

The goal is to fortify Djibouti’s position as ‘one of the main’ bunkering locations on the trade course.

Bunker One Africa managing director Mads Uldal Borggaard said: “Together we will be able to ensure the full supply chain from blending, freighting, hedging, storing and delivering products to our clients in Djibouti on the prompt and in the future with the coming transitions in the bunker space. With this alliance, we aim to position Djibouti as a key regional bunker hub for all ships calling and passing Djibouti for years to come.”

For performing bunkering supplies, the deployment of bunker barges MT RED SEA 1 and MT VER will take place.
