Corporate history

Trust and Openness: the guiding principles

We started out in 1976 as a German-Russian joint venture, supplying bunkers, lubricants and spare parts to the entire former Soviet fleet, under contracts with Soviet shipping companies centrally-organized through the Ministry of Merchant Marine ("Morflot"). Dramatic changes in the Soviet Union in 1991 enabled us to evolve into a worldwide trading organization, with local offices strategically located in all of the world's major bunkering centres, and with the capability to deliver wherever our expanding customer base demands. Now 100% owned by private German shareholders, our headquarters are located in the proud Hanseatic city of Hamburg, Germany.

Bominflot's market position has been achieved through trustful and solid business relationships. And trust and openness will remain the guiding principles of our corporate culture.
