OW Bunker has anounced the unification of its operations in Northern Europe with the launch of a Nordic Waters operation, and in doing so says it has created "one of the world's largest maritime physical bunkering operations" in terms of area covered.

The bunker supplier says it will provide customers with a "one-stop supply solution," with a single point of contact and an end-to-end fuel supply solution across the entire region.

The Nordic Waters unit is serviced by a fleet of seven bunkering vessels for the region.

OW Bunker say it will provide a full range of products, including low sulfur fuel oil, and customers will also be provided with a pre-test sample on products, delivered prior to the usual testing procedures conducted by an external fuel oil analysis provider - an initiative it announced in September 2012.

The company is also offering a specialist high seas bunkering service, which it said will save customers' time and money as it negates the need to deviate from their routes to port.

Jesper Sander, Manager, Physical Operations, OW Bunker Nordic Waters, commented: "For our customers, ensuring reliability of supply, as well as efficiency in their operations is of paramount importance.

"By unifying our Nordic Waters offering, we are able to streamline procurement procedures and ensure that our customers have access to the highest quality, fully-tested products and services when and where they need them."

The Nordic Waters operation provides complete coverage across Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania (Klaipeda), Faroe Islands, Norwegian Sea, Finland, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, and the North Atlantic.
