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.
