OW Bunker has been ranked at number 1768 in Forbes' latest annual Global 2000 ranking of "the biggest, most powerful, and most valuable companies in the world", which were announced this month.
And with sales of $16.99 billion, the recently listed Danish bunker company is ranked number 522 for sales amongst the world's top public companies.
OW Bunker joins fellow marine fuel player World Fuel Services Corp. [NYSE:INT] (WFS) who this year were ranked number 1545, and 213th for sales of $41.54 billion.
After considerable speculation, in March shares of OW Bunker opened at 17.9 percent above the company's initial public offering (IPO) price on the Nasdaq OMX Copenhagen exchange, after the IPO closed early due to "strong interest and demand from investors."
At the time, Sydbank analyst Jacob Pedersen said "investors have accepted OW Bunker as both a dividend and a growth story."
