Singapore, September 2025 – Jurong Energy Traders Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based fuel trading company, announced today that it has entered into a strategic procurement initiative sourcing refined petroleum products from Fujairah Seaport, UAE. The move strengthens the company’s position in the Asia-Pacific fuel supply chain and highlights Fujairah’s growing role as a global trading hub for marine fuels and refined products.
According to James Koh, Chief Operating Officer at Jurong Energy Traders, the initiative focuses on ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO), and marine gas oil (MGO). “Fujairah offers a stable, high-quality supply of refined fuels,” said Koh. “By leveraging Fujairah’s storage infrastructure and bunker services, we can optimize cargo scheduling, reduce turnaround times, and improve delivery reliability to our customers across Southeast Asia.”
Jurong Energy Traders works closely with local suppliers and port agencies in Fujairah to coordinate vessel fixtures, sampling, and quality verification. “Quality control is non-negotiable in our business,” Koh explained. “We rely on SGS inspections and lab certifications before any cargo is lifted, ensuring that our buyers receive compliant, high-grade fuels.”
The company also highlighted the role of Fujairah’s flexible storage terminals in supporting multi-product blending and strategic stockholding. These facilities enable Jurong Energy Traders to manage fluctuating market demand while minimizing operational risks. “Our collaboration with terminal operators allows us to maintain a consistent supply chain, even during periods of global price volatility,” said Koh.
Jurong Energy Traders’ entry into Fujairah is part of a broader strategy to diversify sourcing routes and strengthen regional distribution networks. By combining Middle Eastern supply with its established Southeast Asian logistics platform, the company can respond quickly to market shifts and offer competitive pricing to marine and industrial clients.
“Fujairah is more than just a port; it’s an integrated fuel trading ecosystem,” Koh noted. “From storage and blending to bunkering and shipping coordination, it allows companies like ours to operate efficiently while meeting regulatory and environmental standards.”
The company expects that its expanded Fujairah operations will increase monthly throughput by up to 50,000 metric tons, supporting both marine bunkering operations and inland distribution in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Jurong Energy Traders continues to position itself as a trusted partner for fuel buyers and marine operators in the Asia-Pacific region, leveraging strategic procurement, quality assurance, and port-level expertise to secure reliable energy supplies.
