AN INTRODUCTION TO MINERVA NWE NV

History

Established in 1972 as Verbeke Bunkering, the company has over 40 years experience in the suppling fuels to sea going vessels.

With the acquisition of Verbeke Bunkering by the Aegean Marine Petroleum Network in 2010, the company further enlarged her leading role in the Western European bunker market.

In April 2019, all remaining entities became fully owned by the Mercuria Energy Group, one of the largest privately-held energy and commodities companies in the world. As a result of this, the Company housed this office under the Minerva bunkering department.

On April 4th, this office and it’s highly skilled staff were officially renamed into Minerva North West Europe N.V.

Our goal is to deliver value to our clients by leveraging our extensive network, commitment to transparency, and strong balance sheet.

As an integral part of Mercuria, Minerva NWE NVis one of the industry’s most creditworthy counterparties.
