Alkagesta Records 19% Volume Growth in 2025 Annual Performance Summary

Energy trading house Alkagesta has released its 2025 Annual Report, detailing a significant 19% expansion in total trading volumes across its diverse commodity portfolio. The results underscore a period of robust growth for the group, driven by strategic geographic expansion and the successful integration of new product lines within the global energy markets.

The group’s performance in light ends was characterized by high-volume flows of naphtha, primarily sourced from the Eastern and Central Mediterranean for delivery to major Asian hubs, including China, Korea, and Japan. Additionally, the firm maintained a strong presence in the gasoline and components sector, facilitating trade across Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Mediterranean basin.

In the middle distillates segment, Alkagesta leveraged its logistical network to bridge supply from the Arabian Gulf, India, and the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region to demand centers in the Mediterranean and Black Sea markets. Notable activity was recorded in gasoil and Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) movements serving Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, Serbia, and Turkiye.

Addressing the marine fuel sector, the report highlights the delivery of more than 500,000 tons of 0.1% Ultra-Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (ULSFO) into the Mediterranean throughout 2025. This volume reflects the group’s active participation in the shipping industry’s shift toward lower-sulfur alternatives and cleaner burning fuels.

The reporting year also marked a period of significant structural diversification. Alkagesta initiated a Jet A1 distribution business, acquired a French steel trading firm, and finalized the infrastructure necessary to commence crude oil trading operations in 2026. These moves signal an evolution from a specialized fuel trader into a multi-commodity enterprise.

Sustainability efforts were also a focal point of the annual summary. The group expanded its origination of Used Cooking Oil (UCO) to secure feedstock for the biofuels market and secured ISCC EU certification. This accreditation is intended to verify the traceability and compliance of the company’s supply chain as it engages further with renewable energy components.
