Alkagesta says it completed its first truck-to-vessel marine fuel delivery in Constanța, Romania, on 2 October 2026. The operation involved two trucks carrying a combined 50.164 metric tonnes of marine gasoil, according to the company’s announcement. It adds a delivery method to Alkagesta’s Romanian distribution operations as the business expands its activities in the country and across Black Sea energy markets.
The company described Romania as an increasingly important market for its petroleum products and biofuels business during 2026. It presented the Constanța delivery as part of a wider expansion across European energy markets, alongside developments in aviation fuel, crude oil and sustainable fuels. The announcement places the Romanian operation within that broader commercial activity rather than describing a standalone investment programme.
Earlier in 2026, Alkagesta said it gained access to the NATO Central Europe Pipeline System and began supplying Jet A1 to the European aviation market. According to the company, those deliveries began amid acute pressure on aviation fuel supplies. It also said greater military use of the pipeline had made civilian fuel distribution more complex.
Alkagesta reported completing its first crude oil transactions during the same period, including the delivery of approximately 1.07 million barrels to the Far East. In biofuels, it said it had secured a multi-year storage agreement at Pantank in Antwerp and a five-year offtake agreement for used cooking oil feedstock. The company linked those arrangements to its position in the European biofuels supply chain.
Outside Europe, Alkagesta said its Singapore hub reached monthly marine fuel trading volumes of approximately 250,000 metric tonnes during its first full year of operation. Its announcement also referred to continued activity by its fertiliser desk in a market affected by substantial supply chain disruption and pressures on global food security. The operational figures and descriptions were supplied by Alkagesta.
