Physical Supply
Cockett’s physical supply team is responsible for delivering the right fuel, at the right price, in the right location.
Three decades of trading significant volumes of marine oil globally ensures highly competitive pricing. Customers, through the international offices of Cockett, are benefitting from the collective skills and commercial capabilities, not only of Cockett Marine Oil, but also of the various companies within the South African-based and publicly listed Grindrod Group.
A single call to Cockett provides not only competitively priced fuel, but also the bunkering and bunker tanker operating expertise of Rotterdam-based Associated Bunkeroil Contractors (ABC), and Unicorn Shipping, both of which operate high quality modern barges. Grindrod Group also operates liquid storage facilities through Grindrod Terminals. As a result it’s easy to understand why Cockett’s physical supply team has established such a loyal customer base.
The team’s in house technical expertise provides for that all important peace of mind in terms of quality control through the supply chain, including diligent procurement from first class sources, comprehensive analysis and quality assurance. Bespoke testing and inspection is also offered if required including pretests, using a dedicated laboratory located on the site of the Thames based storage facility and other independent laboratories where necessary.
Thanks to the commercial strength of the Grindrod Group, Cockett’s customers have benefited from the investment in first-class infrastructure and equipment to support the physical supply operations. Excitingly, there is an ambitious expansion strategy for the physical supply capabilities using Grindrod Group resources, beyond those currently provided in the Thames estuary and throughout the English Channel, to other international locations.
