The offshore industry, and in particular those businesses operating exploration, support or production vessels in the oil and gas sector, need a bunker marine fuel supplier who understands the specific needs of the industry.

Time is money to the offshore industry, especially as it operates state-of-the-art dynamically positioned rigs, FPSOs or the many other vessel types that are utilised in the various phases of the oil and gas exploration and production cycle. The commercial priority for the industry is that bunker fuel is delivered on time and by high specification and expertly crewed barges to ensure their own operating and safety performance is not compromised, while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Cockett, through its longstanding expertise in trading marine fuels, combined with its capabilities in managing the physical supply, together with its extensive international network, is a perfect partner for the offshore industry.

The network of Cockett offices also understands their local markets and operating requirements. When operating in the offshore waters of many countries, including, for example, Brazil, the oil and gas industry operators are required to work with local licensed companies to ensure they comply with the country’s tax regime. Cockett’s office in Rio de Janeiro is fully licensed and perfectly placed to provide competitively priced bunkers.

And what reinforces Cockett’s position as the perfect worldwide bunker marine fuels partner is the ability to competitively offer a diverse range of marine-related services and products.

Cockett Marine Oil Ltd have recently become a registered member of First Point Assessment (FPAL).
