Orim Energy Expands into Gibraltar with New Bunkering Operations
Marine fuels trading firm and supplier Orim Energy has opened a new office in Gibraltar and is set to commence bunkering operations in the Strait of Gibraltar from mid-June.
The move will strengthen the company's presence in the Mediterranean, adding to its existing operations in Malta, Orim Energy said in an emailed statement on Wednesday.
"Creating a second operational foothold in the Med – the company already has operations in Malta – is a key step forward and fits Orim Energy's growth strategy," the firm said.
"With its dedicated bunkering infrastructure – tanks and barges – and a highly experienced local team at the Gibraltar office, Orim Energy is fully geared to start reliable 24/7 bunker supply to all types of vessels in the region from mid-June 2025 onwards."
Founded in 2014, Orim Energy supplies bunker fuels to ships in various countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Malta and now Gibraltar. It operates a diverse fleet of barges with annual bunker volumes exceeding 2 million mt.
Gibraltar is a key bunkering hub in the Mediterranean. A total of 5,084 ships arrived for bunkers in the port in 2024, according to Gibraltar Port Authority data.
