Bomin: Middle East and African Bunker Markets are Experiencing Real Change
The Middle East and African bunker markets "are experiencing real change," according to Jan Christensen, Head of Global Bunkering for The Bomin Group.
The regions' economic development, along with the pressures of continuing depressed oil markets, which in turn impact the fuel supply chain, were the drivers for this change, said Christensen.
The comments came alongside a press release confirming the appointment of Andrew Laven as its new Regional Manager for Middle East and Africa.
As Ship & Bunker reported last month, Dubai-based Laven was most recently Vice President of BP Middle East and his new appointment was effective May 10.
"As a leading fuel supplier, we have an important role to play in helping our customers manage this change and providing them with fuel solutions that meet the demands of their operations," said Christensen.
Andrew has a real knowledge of the bunkering industry, and the dynamics of the region, and I am confident that he will add significant value to our operations."
Laven replaces Stephen Robinson. Bomin declined a request for comment on the latter's departure from the role.
