TEHRAN, Oct. 07 (MNA) – Noting Iran-UAE competition on fuel sale in the Persian Gulf, Managing Director of NIORDC has announcing a 20-percent increase in Iran’s bunkering center’s sale since the beginning of the current Iranian year.
Describing Iran’s new plans to sell fuel to ships and tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf especially during the post-sanction era, managing director of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) Seyed Naser Sajadi stated that, “the volume of liquid fuel sales via Iranian bunkering centers since the beginning of the current Iranian year has raised by 20 percent compared to the same period last year."
“During the first six month of the current year, the amount of sales for mazut has increased by 6.5 and 60 percent respectively,” asserted Sajadi adding that, “more than two million tons of mazut has been offered to the ships in the Persian Gulf through bunkering centers.”
Pointing that the UAE is currently the largest supplier of liquid fuel through bunkering to ships in the Persian Gulf, the official asserted that, “the removal of sanctions will definitely contribute to the prosperity of Iran’s oil trade as Iran possess the most standard and the highest quality mazut in the region.”
Sajadi further estimated an increase in traffic of commercial and cargo ships and tankers in the Persian Gulf in case of sanctions removal concluding that, “this event will provide Iran with the best opportunity to increase its share in oil bunkering trade in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz as well as the Sea of Oman.”
