1. Premium Bunkering SA, has entered the market mainly to engaging in the
following activities:
- Bunker Trading in Piraeus and all other Greek ports
Utilizing our thorough knowledge and network in the local market, enables us not only to
quote competitively for every enquiry, but most importantly to follow up all stages in the
supply process and intervene as and when required to ensure a smooth and trouble-free
operation. Unlike other sales organizations, our job does not conclude with a sale but only
begins with it. We take a much more operational and coordinating approach with the aim to
maintain our long lasting relationships and add value to our partners.
Bunkering in Piraeus and other Greek ports (Kali Limenes, Syros etc) still remains the safest
and most attractive bunkering option in the whole East Med region, where bunkers can be
supplied promptly and with a low risk for delays on account of congestions and/or adverse
weather conditions.
Piraeus in particular, presents a full service port with a comfortable and weather protected
anchorage just a couple of miles off the harbor, which can cater for all kinds of supplies and
works, like lubricants, fresh water, repairs and spare parts, stores and provisions, slop
receiving facilities, crew changes etc. For vessels calling Piraeus in transit (only for
bunkers/lubes), special rates apply which we can arrange for and include in our offer.
- Worldwide bunkering (broking)
Having built a successful track record, whilst maintaining our high standards of integrity, we
are now in the fortunate position of having a global and far reaching network of contacts
across both the supply and the demand sides. Contacts, with whom, through the years of our
cooperation, we have developed strong relationships based on mutual trust and respect. We
therefore believe we are in a very strong position when it comes to being able to make the
perfect match between the supplier and the buyer, in a direct and fully transparent way. Not
wishing to stop there, we take one step further by suggesting to both sides ways they could
optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of their co-operation (whether operationally,
financially, or relatively to risk management). The benefits of this optimization stay with the
two counterparties, while our technical expertise and relationship acts as the catalyst to a
smooth and successful cooperation.
Other areas of specialization are the following
- Lubricant sales in Greece and abroad
Piraeus, with two large refineries in very close proximity, is home to a number of local
producers and distributors of marine lubricants, through which we can offer fully
compatible equivalents for all grades of engine, cylinder and system oils in bulk or in
drums, at extremely competitive rates. Also due to the proximity of the blending plants
to the supply location, as well as our close supervision, we can guarantee timely supplies
even with a short notice. Outside Piraeus, we maintain a large network of Major and
independent suppliers, as well as local distributors, through which we can timely and
efficiently meet all your lubricant requirements.
- Consultancy on term supply agreements
Engaging into a long term supply agreement takes much more than just a price
negotiation. It requires a thorough analysis of the pros andcons associated with such a
decision (both commercial and operational) and an accurate evaluation of the supplier.
Premium Bunkering, can provide an independent assessment on the available options
and assist during the negations and discussions between the two parties.
- Consultancy on oil price risk management
Every company that buys or sells oil/products will either gain or loseas oil prices
change. Of course, the amount and the significance of these loses or gains varies for
every company depending on the type of operation they run and the volatility in the
market. Premium Bunkering can assist companies that wish to limittheir exposure,
select the most suitable risk management strategy as well as setting up the process of
implementation and follow up.
