Expansion of the Bunker Business along the Rhine

NWB Nord- und Westdeutsche Bunker GmbH, a subsidiary of the Hamburg-based Bomin group, takes over all shares in Vasco Bunker GmbH, Düsseldorf, with effect from February 1, 2015.

Vasco Bunker, which will continue doing business under this name, supplies shipping customers along the Rhine in the greater Dusseldorf region with diesel fuel and lubricants, using the bunker boat “Vasco II.”

This acquisition further expands NWB’s nationwide network with its focus on northern and western Germany. From now on, clients in the greater Cologne/Dusseldorf area will have two places to get their bunker: “Köln Bunker 1” in Cologne and the newly acquired bunker boat “Vasco II.”


The Bomin group has been active in the bunker business for more than 35 years via its subsidiaries and is one of the world’s leading independent dealers and suppliers of bunker oil. The business portfolio covers activities ranging from the supply of bunker fuels to lubricants and other services to the shipping industry. The company operates around the globe with a staff of more than 300 in 36 offices worldwide. Bomin is at 100% owned by Mabanaft.
