Chilean maritime services player Agunsa is setting its eyes on fresh business waters – the bunker sales niche in Europe and Africa. Recently, the aspiration began taking shape with Total Bunkering – the company’s local energy wing, initiating an MGO stem delivery to the drillship Ocean Blackhawk at Las Palmas, according to Ivan Ausina, executive director of Agunsa Europa.
Power Moves: Strategic Hirings
In efforts aimed at expanding its footprint, Agunsa made a strategic acquisition – Emilce Iglesias previously from Minerva Bunkering. Iglesias, stepping into the role of senior trader in Las Palmas was added to the Agunsa Europa team. The move aims to strengthen the company’s position in the market, fueling progressive growth in sales across the region.
“We are orchestrating an expansion of our activities, and the signing of Emilce is evidence of our commitment—she joined our ranks just a few weeks ago,” revealed Ausina. He further emphasized that Europe, Africa, and Latin America are high on Agunsa’s priority list.

Presently, Agunsa is a physical bunker supplier at a dozen ports in Chile and Argentina, manifesting its global presence in the marine fuels trading realm. The decision to target sales expansion in Europe and Africa points towards a calculated growth strategy plotted on the world map.
Concluding Remarks
In conclusion, the company’s expansion strategy divulges its mission for undeniable growth, fueled by strategic recruitment and defeating geographical barriers. The focused vision amidst complex maritime markets hints at promising times. Europe, Africa, and Latin America today, perhaps, the rest of the world tomorrow? Only time will tell where Agunsa’s sails will catch the wind next.
Agunsa’s relentless pursuit of growth and global presence serves as a beacon for other maritime firms, reminding them that the market is always ripe for those who dare to chart unexplored territories.
