of the oil products focus within Mercuria. $1bn of capital

Mercuria has consistently been one of the world’s largest
fuel and middle distillates traders, annually sourcing and
trading more than 52m metric tonnes in every major
supply basin. By combining this extensive cargo sourcing
system with a global physical delivery network, we have
created the most powerful integrated supply chain in the
bunkering industry.
Control of logistical assets and an integrated supply chain
allow us to provide lower delivered cost of fuel, greater
certainty over fuel provenance and quality, enhanced
logistical flexibility, and accountable operations.
As part of the Mercuria Group, Minerva benefits from
the rock-solid foundation of the Group’s financing
capacity, creditworthiness, and top-tier corporate
functions spanning compliance, credit, legal, and IT.
As technology continues to transform our industry,
we are committed to harnessing its full potential.
Our investments in advanced metering, blockchain
applications and smart contracts offer enhanced
transparency and security in marine fuel transactions.
