We were born and bred in Peterhead, North East of Scotland, and we’ve never been far away from the sea.
With depots in Peterhead and Fraserburgh - two of Scotland’s busiest ports - we specialise in fuel and lubricants for the marine market. We’ve been fueling the fishing industry since we began in business – providing a reliable service to fishermen 24 hours a day – and now we supply support vessels for oil and gas and other seaborne traffic too.
We live and work throughout parts of North East Scotland where lots of homes are ‘off grid’ for natural gas.
