PHNOM PENH, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Danish bunker supplier Go4 Bunker Denmark on Wednesday officially expanded its business into Cambodia, aiming at supplying fuel oil to international ships sailing through the country's sea.
Go4 Bunker Denmark will partner with Cambodian companies to develop not only the Cambodian offshore marine fuel oil business, but also related business in connection with the Cambodian National Petroleum Authority (CNPA) offshore exploration and local service, the firm said in a statement.
"Go4 Bunker-Cambodia will create a new industry for Cambodia in Offshore/Marine Fuel Oil Supply and will create countless jobs for Cambodians ranging from entry level to senior management positions within the sector," the statement said.
The firm said it would leverage its Danish education, field knowledge, educational programs and trainee exchange programs with the Danish oil and gas sector to assist in Cambodia to be positioned on the world map.
"After 12 years developing the Go4 Concept in the Global Bunker Industry and four years developing in the Gulf of Thailand ( Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Singapore), we are pleased to introduce the Go4 Bunker concept in the Cambodia Offshore Economical Zone," said Tommy Christensen, Chief Executive Officer of Go4 Bunker-Cambodia.
Chan Dararith, board of directors of Go4 Bunker-Cambodia, said after the launching ceremony that the firm will supply fuel oil to international ships passing Cambodia's maritime space.
He said that the firm can supply as much as 10,000 tons of marine fuel oil a month in Cambodia, adding that previously, all international ships traveling through Cambodia have their fuel oil tanks re-filled in either Thailand or Singapore.
