Marine fuels company Malik Supply is seeking to hire a bunker trader to be based at its Dubai office, according to a LinkedIn job advertisement posted on Wednesday.

The company is looking for candidates with a minimum of two years of experience in bunker trading or marine fuels sales. Dubai is one of the Middle East's key marine fuels hubs, with the nearby port of Fujairah serving as one of the world's largest bunkering centers by volume. The Gulf region's strategic position along major east-west shipping routes has consistently attracted bunker suppliers and traders looking to serve vessels transiting between Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

The hire comes as bunkering firms across key hubs continue building out commercial teams to navigate evolving marine fuel demand, shaped by regulatory shifts such as the International Maritime Organization's sulfur cap and the ongoing transition toward alternative fuels.

According to the job listing, the successful candidate's responsibilities will include:

• Developing and managing relationships with customers, suppliers, and industry stakeholders.
• Identifying new business opportunities and growing a trading portfolio.
• Negotiating bunker transactions and securing profitable deals.
• Providing customers with market insights and tailored fuel solutions.
• Coordinating closely with suppliers and operational partners to ensure smooth execution.
• Contributing actively to the continued development of the firm's Dubai office and trading activities.

Interested candidates can find more information through the LinkedIn job posting.
