Bunker supplier strengthens Russian team

The move is part of a strategic focus to further strengthen the group’s presence in the growing BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries. Ananiev has many years of experience including operational experience with ship owners, including Genmar and Ukkrichflot.

Kristian Nielsen, worldwide manager, OW Bunker & Trading, commented: “We are very pleased that Andrew Ananiev has joined OW Bunker. Russia is a dynamic and culturally distinct bunker market where local knowledge and close ties to suppliers are essential. Andrew has exceptional knowledge of the Russian market and his arrival significantly strengthens our Russian trading team. OW Bunker has provided bunker services in Russia since the 1980s and we look forward to continuing to deliver an exceptional service to our customers in Russia, wherever they need our support, whether in St Petersburg, the Black Sea ports or the Russian Far East.”
