Ecuador Launch: Physical Supply Across Four Pacific Ports
Ecuador has joined Viroque Energy as a new and critical operational market, referred to by the company as a “new strategic market expanding our coverage across the Americas.“ The company is now actively providing physical bunkering services across four strategic Ecuadorian ports: La Libertad, Manta, Guayaquil, and Esmeraldas.
This presence is designed to allow Viroque Energy to serve the key Pacific routes with superior reach and operational consistency.
Borja Cerrato, Bunker & Shipping Trader Sr. at Viroque Energy, confirmed the move, stating the expansion “widens our reach in the Americas and strengthens our role as a trusted partner in international maritime logistics.“
Comprehensive Fuel Portfolio by Delivery Method
Viroque Energy is ensuring high logistical flexibility in Ecuador by offering a diverse range of conventional marine fuels delivered via two distinct supply methods: HSFO and VLSFO by barge, and MGO by truck across all four ports.
Alongside these conventional fuels, Viroque Energy also offers bio-bunker solutions across its network, aligning with the industry’s transition toward decarbonised shipping and IMO-aligned sustainability goals.
Consolidation: Viroque’s Seven-Port Iberian Network
The company’s ability to execute this international expansion is underpinned by its established strength and consolidation across the Iberian Peninsula. Viroque Energy is now physically active in seven key Spanish ports, enhancing its ability to serve vessels across both the Mediterranean and Atlantic maritime corridors, including Gijón, Bilbao, Motril, Seville (The latest addition), Gandía, Sagunt and Valencia.
This development highlights the company’s vision of building a nationwide, integrated bunkering network that supports both international shipping lanes and regional logistics hubs.
