Gulf Petrochem Group (GP) has strengthened its bunker trading team in Europe with the appointment of Maxime Cramer to the group’s Rotterdam office . He joins a team of bunkering traders headed up by Chris Todd in Europe’s largest bunkering port, Rotterdam.
Cramer has in-depth knowledge and vast experience on both the customer and supply side of the business, having previously held trading positions with OW Bunker and Minerva Bunkers.
The appointment of Cramer will further bolster GP’s global bunkering division which is currently headed up by Chris Todd, West of the Suez and Anil Keswani managing the same portfolio East of the Suez.
The Rotterdam office currently caters to the group’s global customers and provides them with the supply of marine fuel products such as 380cst and LSGO in the ARA region. Supplies are carried out using the exclusively time chartered barges Valsinni, Virage, Vantage and Chardonnay.
The office also undertakes worldwide cargo and bunker trading and is further looking to expand its barge fleet in Europe, add a new physical area and add another trading office in Europe during the course of this year.
