Dubai-based Oilmar has announced the addition of Steff Tan to its Trading Department in Singapore as a Marine Fuel Trader. Tan possesses over nine years of experience within the maritime and bunker industry, previously serving as an Assistant Marketing Manager and Bunker Trader at Energe Asia Pte Ltd in Singapore.
This strategic hire is intended to bolster Oilmar's operational capacity in marine fuel supply and trading. The company highlighted Tan's proficiency in managing bunker supply operations, cultivating customer relationships, and executing complex trading transactions as key assets to its expanding global team.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this development signals Oilmar's commitment to strengthening its marine fuel trading capabilities, particularly in the crucial Singapore market. A robust and experienced trading team can contribute to more stable and competitive bunker fuel pricing and availability, which directly impacts vessel operating costs and, consequently, ocean freight rates. Enhanced trading expertise could lead to more efficient fuel procurement, potentially mitigating some volatility in bunker surcharges for shippers.
