Oryx to start Las Palmas, Canary Islands, bunker operations: source

Bunker supplier Oryx will begin bunker operations in the Canary Islands in November, a company source said Wednesday.

“Bunker operations are to start soon…sometime in November,” the source said.

“They bought a 45,000 mt HSFO cargo from Brofjorden for October 25-30 loadings,” a Canary Island bunker source said, while a second source said Oryx had discharged marine gasoil in Las Palmas in the prior week.

Oryx Energies, part of the Addax and Oryx Group, opened a new oil terminal in Las Palmas in mid-September to provide storage capacity.

“It has a long, deep water jetty and a design that offers flexibility and fast loading/discharging rates for a wide variety of vessels and shipping operators,” the company said in a statement in September.

An Oryx source said in September that they were planning to begin operations in mid-October, though this appeared to be pushed back, according to local competitors.

“We had their first quote yesterday to supply on 5-10 November,” a Las Palmas trader said Wednesday.

There are currently four main local suppliers in Las Palmas: Aegean, Cepsa, Repsol and Peninsula.
