The supplier will initially supply marine fuels to commercial vessels and regional offshore oil and gas installations from the ports of Nouadhibou and Nouakchott. Minerva also highlighted the country’s active fishing fleet as a target market.

Minerva said it sources these marine fuel grades from its hub in Las Palmas. Minerva’s bunkering tankers Symi, Tethys and Karpathos will work on the Mauritanian operation.
