VCU supplies quality products across Europe through an extensive network. From our office in Urk, the logistics of the large flow of fuels and lubricants are coordinated. Pricing is continuously monitored using modern systems that track market prices around the clock.
Lubricants
Supplying lubricants and greases for vessels has long been a craft mastered by VCU. Motor oil, hydraulic oil, gearbox oil and propeller shaft grease are just a few examples from the wide range of products we offer. While VCU can supply virtually any brand, we specialize in Gulf, Mobil, Shell, Total, Kroon and Kuwait lubricants.
Deliveries are available in cans, drums, barrels and bulk.
For these brands, VCU also offers supporting equipment that provides expert advice and conducts lubricant analysis, covering everything related to proper lubrication management. Whether you need small or large quantities, we can deliver in any form: cans, drums, barrels or bulk.
Pumping barrels in the harbor
In standard fishing ports, VCU can even arrange the pumping of lubricant barrels directly into vessels, thanks to favorable agreements with reputable bunker companies that also handle gas oil deliveries for VCU.
Lubricants are primarily supplied on demand to all types of customers, allowing for quick response times and flexible delivery. In principle, deliveries can be made anywhere in the Netherlands. All logistics are coordinated from our facility in Urk, where we also maintain a small buffer stock for immediate needs. Both fishing companies and inland shipping businesses regularly benefit from this service.

Supply of gas and lubricating oil
History and Core Activity
VCU was founded in 1922 with the primary goal of jointly purchasing gas oil. Since then, supplying gas oil to the affiliated fleet has remained a core pillar of the company. Even today, numerous maritime businesses benefit from the favorable gas oil rates offered by VCU. While VCU mainly serves its members, other customers can often take advantage of competitive deals as well.
Procurement and Supply
VCU purchases gas oil for deliveries within the Netherlands at market prices and has favorable agreements with renowned bunkering companies for pumping oil into vessels. From their modern headquarters in Urk, bunkering operations are coordinated and developments in oil prices are closely monitored to make purchases at the most favorable moments.
International Deliveries and Networks
VCU maintains a weekly stock of gas oil for bunkering and strives for outstanding quality. For international deliveries, VCU has an extensive network of local suppliers in ports across the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Denmark. The company continuously seeks favorable agreements with local suppliers to further expand and optimize its international network. This enables VCU to often choose from multiple suppliers, benefiting the gas oil price for vessels abroad.
