The Russian Fishery Company (RFC) LLC and the Rosneft Bunker LLC (NK Rosneft subsidiary) signed an agreement on the supply of marine fuel for a period of five years on the basis of formula pricing, RFC says in a press release.

In accordance with the agreement, Rosneft-Bunker will supply the RFC with up to 340,000 tons of marine fuel used in ship and gas turbine ship equipment.
"We are sure that long-term relations with our partners are the basis of sustainable business," - commented RFC CEO Fyodor Kirsanov. - The contract, that was signed today, will provide direct supplies of fuel from a Russian manufacturer, which has proved to be a reliable supplier. High-quality fuel, which we will receive under the contract, will be also used on new super trawlers, the construction of which the RFC started this year. "
The quality of the fuel planned to be delivered to RFC is confirmed by expertise, which is carried out at all stages: during production, transportation, storage and refueling. The employees of Rosneft-Bunker, as well as experts from independent international survey organizations Saybolt, SGS and Inspectorate are involved in the audit.
The agreement will allow Rosneft-Bunker to increase the volume of ship fuel sales in the domestic market to the direct shipowners and will lead to the expansion of the client base.
