Alkagesta expands Mediterranean fuel oil supply activity
The Malta-based trading company reports higher blended fuel oil volumes moving through regional storage.
Alkagesta, a commodity trading company headquartered in Malta, has reported an increase in blended fuel oil volumes moving through Mediterranean storage as regional bunker demand recovers from a soft first quarter.
The company's activity centres on petroleum products, including fuel oil and gasoil, supplied to industrial and marine buyers. Storage and blending arrangements are a core part of that model, allowing traders to hold optionality between specification grades.
Trade Flow Insight has independently reviewed publicly available shipping and terminal activity consistent with the reported increase. Volume figures cited by the company have not been independently verified.
The broader Mediterranean product market has firmed over the same period, with cracks supported by blending demand and short-haul freight costs.
