Aegean Marine Petroleum is tying up with a private equity-backed firm to supply bunkers in the US Virgin Islands.

Aegean and a local subsidiary of Freepoint Commodities signed a deal to cooperate on bunkering sales at Limetree Bay in St Croix.

The deal calls for Aegean to market bunkers and marine gas oil supplied by Freepoint to customers calling on the Limetree Bay Facility.
