OW Bunker has appointed Adrian Tolson as its new regional manager for North America, the company said in an emailed press release.

In his new position, Tolson, whom the company hired in October to develop its North American physical division, will now lead both trading and physical operations for the region.

The company has been expanding its operations in North America, a move that included opening new offices in Stamford, Connecticut where its regional physical division is based, and it is starting a "significant recruitment drive" to help it grow.

OW Bunker has trading operation based in both Stamford and Houston, Texas.

"The North American market is facing real regional change over the next few years, in addition to other global economic and regulatory influences, which will have a significant impact on the dynamics of the local bunker market," said Tolson.

"However, with any change, also comes great opportunity.

"And we are confident that we can deliver rapid, yet controlled expansion, as we look to further develop our customer base and infrastructure within the region."

This spring, OW Bunker expanded its operations in the Gulf of Mexico by adding a second supply vessel.
