Alkagesta Featured By Ship & Bunker For Expanding ULSFO Supply Footprint Across The Mediterranean
Alkagesta was recently featured by Ship & Bunker, highlighting the company’s continued expansion in the ULSFO grade business across the Mediterranean region.
The article recognizes Alkagesta’s active role in supplying Ultra Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (ULSFO) and its contribution to meeting the new Mediterranean Emission Control Area (Med ECA) requirements introduced this year.
Having already supplied over 500,000 metric tons of ULSFO in the Central and Eastern Mediterranean, Alkagesta continues to strengthen its position as a reliable partner in the evolving marine fuel landscape. Building on this success, the company is pursuing further growth opportunities in Spain, expanding its cargo supply presence to support the region’s transition to cleaner marine fuels.
This feature underscores Alkagesta’s commitment to operational excellence, sustainability, and compliance — key pillars of the company’s strategy to advance the energy transition across global shipping markets.
“The introduction of the Med ECA has accelerated demand for cleaner fuel grades, and Alkagesta is proud to play an active role in supporting this transformation through reliable ULSFO supply and expanding regional coverage.”
