AEGEAN BUNKERING SERVICES INC.

AEGEAN BUNKERING SERVICES INC. is part of Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc., a company that was known for its marine fuel logistics and marketing. Founded in 1995 by Dimitris Melissanidis and based in Piraeus, Greece, Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. provided a full spectrum of marine fuel services, including bunkering, lubricants, and other maritime-related activities. The company operated a fleet of bunkering vessels and supplied marine fuel to ships in various ports around the world.

The company had a global footprint, with operations spanning across numerous strategic locations worldwide.

NTSB Issues Safety Alert for Land-Based Firefighters After Multiple Deaths

5 days ago
The National Transportation Safety Board issued a safety alert Wednesday urging greater awareness and training for land-based firefighters who may be called to fight fires aboard vessels in local ports.The safety alert follows several NTSB investigations into deaths and injuries to firefighters. The NTSB found land-based firefighters often lack the necessary training and familiarity with vessel layouts and fire protection systems to effectively fight in-port vessel fires. They also may be unaware of how to use the structural fire protection built into most commercial vessels.
