Maersk Tankers and Cargill have formed a strategic partnership to combine their bunker volume. While the initial goal is to procure bunker fuel for Cargill and Maersk Tankers’ combined fleet of over 900 vessels representing annual bunker volumes of 3.5 million tons, the partnership will offer a new bunker procurement service to tramp shipping companies and trading houses. Launching April 1st, the increased scale and combined approach will give access to better prices and services, leveraging relationships with key suppliers in the world’s busiest bunkering hubs to ensure optimal service and bunker premiums.
