Uni-Fuels Opens Shanghai Office To Boost Asia Expansion
KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 (Bernama) -- Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited, a Singapore-headquartered global provider of marine fuel solutions, announced the official opening of its new office in Shanghai, marking a strategic milestone in its international expansion and underscoring its focus on the fast-growing Asia maritime market.
The newly established subsidiary, Uni-Fuels (Shanghai) Co Ltd (Uni-Fuels Shanghai), is located in the heart of Lujiazui, Shanghai’s financial district. This expansion comes on the heels of Uni-Fuels’ April launch of its Dubai office near Fujairah, one of the world’s key marine refuelling hubs.
In a statement, Uni-Fuels said the Shanghai office will serve as a vital regional base to support shipping clients navigating Asia’s evolving marine fuel landscape.
As the world’s busiest container port, Shanghai offers critical strategic value, providing Uni-Fuels with enhanced proximity to a high-density cluster of maritime and shipping activity.
“Calibrated efforts to expand our geographical footprint reflect the company's dedication to being where our customers and suppliers operate.
“Our local team possesses a deep understanding of the Asian market, enabling us to respond nimbly to customers’ needs and the evolving dynamics in our operating landscape,” said its Senior Vice President, Commercial, Alan Tan.
Tan noted that the new office would enhance face-to-face engagement with suppliers, enabling quicker resolution of operational issues and supporting regional sourcing strategies—key factors in strengthening global supply chain resilience.
“Shanghai not only allows access to emerging demand trends and regulatory updates in real time but also provides a strategic vantage point to expand our fuel offerings and optimise procurement capabilities,” he added.
As part of its broader expansion efforts, Uni-Fuels is actively building regional partnerships and investing in next-generation bunkering solutions aimed at decarbonising maritime operations.
The company is focused on delivering diverse, sustainable, and efficient fuel options as it looks to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of marine energy supply.
