Energy company PetroChina International is looking to hire an experienced bunker sales manager, with the role based in either London or Rotterdam.
The company is seeking the manager to drive growth in its bunker business across the ARA region (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp) and the wider European market, according to a LinkedIn job advertisement posted on Ship & Bunker reporting today.
The ARA region is one of the world's major bunkering hubs, and the role's base options in London and Rotterdam place it at the center of the North European marine fuels market, where PetroChina International already operates as part of the broader trading activities of China's largest oil and gas producer.
The responsibilities listed for the position include:
- Growing bunker sales activity across the ARA and wider European market.
- Building and strengthening relationships with shipowners, operators, charterers, traders, brokers and suppliers.
- Developing new business opportunities across both bunker sales and physical supply activities.
- Trading and marketing marine fuels including VLSFO, HSFO, MGO, LNG, methanol and biofuels.
- Working closely with trading, operations, credit and risk functions to safely and efficiently execute transactions.
- Helping shape the long-term growth and development of the bunker business.
The fuel range listed reflects the changing composition of the marine fuels market: VLSFO and HSFO have been the dominant grades since the IMO 2020 sulphur cap took effect, while LNG, methanol and biofuels have emerged as alternative bunker fuels as shipping pursues lower-carbon propulsion options under IMO greenhouse gas reduction strategy.
The job listing is available on LinkedIn.
