International oil trader Vitol Group (Vitol) has started a new bunkering operation in Nigerian waters with shipping and logistics firm PPP FM Bunkers (PPPFM), supported by the Secure Anchorage Area (SAA) West Africa.
Nigeria's PPPFM is fully licensed by that country's Department of Petroleum Resources, according to Vitol.
"Fully licensed by the Department of Petroleum Resources, PPPFM entered into an agreement with Vitol to be able to guarantee clients the best quality bunker fuels in the West African region," explained Vitol in the announcement.
Bunkers are supplied to clients utilising PPPFM’s bunkering vessels / barges with all operations protected by the Secure Anchorage Area team, who have provided maritime clients with 100% successful 24/7 security throughout West Africa since May 2013.
PPPFM's Lagos Office will handle all local inquiries whilst PPPFM & Vitol are jointly marketing bunkers internationally from Vitol's Hamburg office.
