Monaco-based bunker trading firm Rudder Group (Rudder) Friday announced that it is opening a subsidiary in Dubai in an effort to expand its global coverage and become "a leading bunker player."

"The Dubai venture is a logical next step in a planned and well resourced expansion programme," said Rudder, noting that the new subsidiary will be headed by Robert Thompson.

Thompson's experience is said to include senior executive roles at prominent bunker companies.

"Several experienced traders have been recruited and will add further impetus to the growth plans. Rudder management are intending to add more high calibre personnel to its dynamic team as the expansion gathers pace," explained the company.

Rudder, which has been active in the bunker market since 2006, currently has locations in Singapore and Argentina, as well as representation in Miami.
