OW Bunker

OW Bunker was a global player in the marine fuels industry, providing fuel and related services to ships worldwide. Founded in Denmark, it was one of the largest bunker fuel suppliers until its collapse in 2014 due to financial mismanagement and fraud. The company's bankruptcy impacted many stakeholders, including customers and suppliers, and highlighted vulnerabilities in the shipping industry's fuel supply chain. OW Bunker's situation led to increased scrutiny and changes in regulations within the marine fuel sector to enhance transparency and reduce financial risks.
