Trafigura and John Fredriksen's bunker venture is moving into a key UK hub as it steps up operations.

Geneva-based TFG Marine said on Wednesday it will start supply operations in Falmouth this month.

The company, formed by the trading giant and Fredriksen's Frontline and Golden Ocean, said Trafigura had signed a deal with Falmouth Petroleum, an affiliate of World Fuel Services, to secure fuel capacity at the terminal.
