Bunkerist

Bunker Trader in Istanbul

A bunker trader buys marine fuel from the supplier in port, sells it to the owner or operator and follows the delivery. Bunkerist does this from its office in Istanbul.

Bunker operations are a critical part of a vessel’s dynamic work schedule and are classified as a vital process. Therefore, careful planning and coordination between all parties is required for fuel orders.

The role of the Bunkerist in this process is to actively participate in the trade of transit fuel and lubricants, working professionally and with experience. These commercial programs create pressure on shipowners and personnel responsible for fuel orders, and the Bunkerist works with a professional trader team to respond to these challenging conditions.

We offer our customers the most suitable local fuel prices. The party placing the fuel order is credited according to their desired payment conditions and capacity. The product of the required quality and quantity is supplied to the ships on time and the post-sales liabilities are fulfilled.

If our customer is dissatisfied, the problem is resolved or addressed with professional support. The Bunker Trader, acting on behalf of the seller and the buyer, assumes responsibility according to the terms of the contract from the initial inquiry to the supply stage, tracking the entire process.

Based on the industry knowledge and market dynamics, the Bunkerist, which is certain to meet all of your expectations, performs the supply with the professionalism offered by local resources whenever and for whatever products are needed.
