Dubai-based International Marine & Energy (IME), a leading force in the UAE’s bunker supply sector, has added three new barges to its locally based fleet.
Since receiving a license to supply bunkering products in 2020, IME has been operating three barges within the UAE, focused on Sharjah and Khorfakkan. Now, three additional barges are in service, taking the total number to six, allowing the company to enhance its ability to deliver bunker fuel in an efficient and timely way. The six barges – Havana, Cavendish, Eton, Compton, NMS 402 and Pardi – deliver marine gas and fuel oil conforming to ISO 8217 standards.
Ali Fathi, the founder of IME, said: “Our strategic expansion, including the addition of three new barges, builds on our market credibility as a trusted and fully licensed supplier of petroleum products. As a homegrown UAE company, we will continue to contribute towards the nation’s reputation as a trusted global bunkering hub, given that nearly 90 percent of goods traded globally are carried across our oceans.”
With the addition of the new barges, IME will continue to work closely with local and international authorities and stakeholders to deliver tailored solutions that meet any supply challenge. IME says it is also focused on driving conversations around regulatory frameworks, credit and risk management, health and safety, and the development of future fuels.
