Athens

Widely regarded as one of the world’s most influential maritime capitals, Athens is home to a significant share of the global shipping fleet and a dense network of shipowners, charterers, and maritime service providers. The city’s position at the gateway to the eastern Mediterranean places it at the crossroads of major trade routes linking Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, making it a pivotal centre for decision-making and operational support across the shipping industry.

Minerva Bunkering has operated from Athens since 2019, following the acquisition of Aegean Marine Petroleum Network, whose presence in the city was firmly established within the maritime community. Today, Athens is Minerva’s largest office worldwide and serves as a key hub for our global operations — providing market insight, client support, and fuel supply coordination to vessels trading across the Mediterranean and beyond.
