BMS Bunkers, United Bunkering & Trading merge to form BMS United Bunkers
BMS Bunkers has announced in an emailed press release that effective June 1, 2014 it has merged with Singapore headquartered United Bunkering & Trading to form a new brand, BMS United Bunkers.
"We consider this event a 'perfect match' between BMS' existing expertise in Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East while United Bunkering & Trading is a renowned Asia specialist company," it said.
"It is very good news for our combined clients and suppliers all over the world as we can increase our volume with our existing suppliers and at the same time our clients can benefit from us being a larger group and increased market momentum."
BMS United Bunkers Group says the merger makes it one of the world's largest bunker suppliers with offices in Argentina, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Greece, Singapore, and Taiwan.
BMS Bunkers in April launched a new bunkering App for the iPhone, the Brilliant App.
