Global marine fuel supplier Peninsula has announced physical supply operations in the UAE ports of Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali.

Peninsula will supply all three bunker fuel grades—VLSFO, LSMGO and HSFO—in Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali. Bunker deliveries will be made via barge and at anchorage, a Peninsula representative told ENGINE.

However, the company has not yet disclosed how many barges will be deployed or the start date for operations.

This expansion extends the company’s “physical supply network across the Mediterranean and Suez and reflects our commitment to meeting our customers’ needs at a global level,” Peninsula’s chief executive John A. Bassadone stated.

Peninsula already supplies bunker fuels in Fujairah and at other UAE locations such as Dubai anchorage, Dubai Harbour, Sharjah Port, and Khor Fakkan, the bunker firm said.
