UNERCO, established in 2019 under the leadership of the important figures of the bunker industry in Turkey, becomes popular upon the succesfull bunker supply operations it has performed for the ships passing through crucial seas such as Istanbul, Çanakkale, Aegean, Mediterranean and Black Sea.

UNERCO, managed by the experienced figures of the maritime and marine fuels industry, carries out it’s bunker supply operations as a physical supplier at the main bunker supply points of Turkey under the management of its Izmir and Istanbul offices. Management of the company consists of Ufuk Erinç, Erdem Çoker and Utku Ünlü who have extensive experience in the national and international bunker industry.

“25.000 Tons of Bunker Supply per Month …”

UNERCO, one of the major physical bunker suppliers in Marmara, supplies approximately 20-25 thousand tons of bunker in a month. The company, which carries out its operations in a modern terminal through high standard barges, works with all the major companies and shipowners in the world. Thus, the company has a wide network and recognition all around the world in addition to Turkey. While the company carries out its bunker supply operations, which is its core business activity, it also provides guidance and information to its customers, whom it sees as strategic partners, regarding the developments in the maritime field. At the same time, the company carries out research and development activities related to fields such as tanker operations and management.

Turkey is Located at the Point Where Far East and the Black Sea Meets:

Ufuk Erinç, General Manager of UNERCO, drew attention to the fact that Turkey's location which connects Far East ports and the Black Sea, ensures to have an important position in bunker supply industry.

 “Acting as a bridge between these regions creates a very important potential for Turkey. However, while we have explained our success in bunkering well and brought it to a certain level, I observe that this is only on the corporate basis. I think it would be much more beneficial for all of us to target trouble-free, successfull bunkering operations in Turkey and act together in this direction. Apart from that, being competitive requires using up-to-date technology in logistics processes. When you combine all of these and pay attention to both quality, price and recognition at the same time, it will not be too difficult to achieve double, maybe even triple the level reached so far.

These developments will provide great benefits in terms of contribution to the economy and maritime trade.”

Ufuk Erinç, who stated that UNERCO has been preferred a lot lately for bunkering since they are located in natural waterways, underlined the importance of the Dardanelles and Istanbul Straits in this context:

“Our buyers never face problems regarding the quality and quantity. The point where we perform our operations in Turkey is located on the continuation of a natural waterway. Therefore, ships passing through both the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles are able to meet their bunker needs easily and continue their cruise without any problems. In addition, the transitions here depend on many other factors… Planning and managing the operations is seriously difficult. We successfully carry out all these processes without any problems, which is the reason we are preferred.”

UNERCO, thanks to its maritime history and years of experience, has established all its operational processes on correctly identifying all the risks that its customers may experience in the open sea and meeting their needs at the right time and in the right way.

For this reason, it has adopted the point of view that qualified service and qualified products are inseparable parts of each other in all these processes. It increases its power even more with the strategic partnerships it has formed with the reputable brands of the sector. As an Istanbul-based physical bunker supplier, UNERCO underlines its claim in the industry by gathering its most important starting point under the title of “Timely supply, high quality and sustainable service”.

As a result, Ufuk Erinç stated that they are preparing for the future with a product that has never been known about, the “fuel of the future" and that they will start conducting studies according to each customer and fleet type.
