Aalborg-headquartered Malik Supply was established in 1989 and Nordic Marine Oil was created in 2011 to take over operations previously carried out by Statoil Marine.
Now rebranded as Malik Energy, the company offers physical supply in all Danish ports, supported by a fleet of 11 barges. It also operates terminals at 9 locations in Denmark, including major import terminals at Frederikshavn and Esbjerg, and has grown to be a Danish supplier of 0.10% sulphur marine gas oil (MGO) to the maritime segment including the fishing industry and to Denmark’s offshore and wind sectors.
Visual brand identity
“Bringing the two companies together under the Malik name with a shared visual brand identity highlights and reinforces the strong relationship between them,” says Anders Jensen, COO, Malik Energy.
“Before, there was no obvious link between Malik Supply and Nordic Marine Oil, but by bringing that synergy into the Malik name we now have a stronger brand that shows we are both a trading house and a physical supplier.” The launch of the Malik Energy brand also signals the company’s intention to actively engage with shipping’s energy transition.
Marine fuel products
Anders Jensen also believes shipping’s decarbonisation will be a step-by-step process
“Energy better encompasses how we see the marine fuels market, which will become much more diversified,” explains Kristian Nielsen, Malik Supply’s Chief Commercial Officer.
Anders Jensen also believes shipping’s decarbonisation will be a step-by-step process. “We see future marine fuel products as being liquid and we will look to use the existing bunkering infrastructure as much as we possibly can – we think that this will still be part of shipping going forward.” For Malik Energy, the first step on its future voyage is the introduction of a drop-in sustainable biofuel which offers shipowners up to 70-80% greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction with no investment in onboard equipment.
Drop-in sustainable biofuel
“This fuel meets ISO 8217 specifications, there’s zero investment for the shipowner and as we go down the path towards huge investment in ammonia or methanol engines, this is a step that the shipowner can take today,” says Anders Jensen.
“Malik Energy wants to be part of that first step. We have the technology in place to assist our clients in reducing emissions. It is important for us to state that Co-processed fuel offers us a solution today to be able to take that initial step towards net zero over time.” Malik’s rebranding took effect on 1 January. Contact and banking details remain unchanged.
