Pentarch Offshore Solutions, which provides marine logistics for offshore energy, heavy industry and decommissioning, is bolstering its bunkering capabilities.
The company, a partner of the Centre of Decommissioning Australia (Coda), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Integr8 Fuels to help meet growing Australian maritime refuelling needs at the Port of Edrom, Eden, New South Wales (NSW).
The agreement marks a key step in enhancing bunker fuel provision and operational support for expanding offshore energy, maritime, and defence activities in the region, according to William Kanavan, Managing Director of Pentarch Offshore Solutions.
“The signing of this MOU marks a significant milestone for Pentarch Offshore Solutions, firmly positioning our region on the global map as a growing hub for marine and offshore energy operations,” said Kanavan.
“Our developing partnership with a world-leading fuel provider like Integr8 Fuels demonstrates the scale of opportunity this regional port can deliver – for industry, and for Australia.”
The collaboration means the two partners, alongside regional stakeholders, will be contributing to the ongoing transformation of the Port of Edrom into a multi-functional marine and energy terminal.
The MOU builds on existing fuel supply commitments to a range of Australian and international marine contractors, including allied defence and naval refuelling operations.
“This partnership strengthens Integr8 Fuels’ presence in the Australian market, demonstrating our commitment to supporting critical marine and offshore operations,” said Christopher Seidel, Integr8 Fuels’ Business Manager.
“We look forward to collaborating with Pentarch Offshore Solutions and contributing to the growth and capability of the Port of Edrom and the Far South Coast community of New South Wales.”
