Alkagesta Opens Singapore Hub, Reaches 180,000 MT in First Months
Alkagesta Asia Pte Ltd reported marine fuels volumes of about 180,000 MT by December, against a monthly target of 250,000 MT.
Alkagesta established an Asia-Pacific operations hub in Singapore in 2025, trading as Alkagesta Asia Pte Ltd, and reported marine fuels volumes of about 180,000 MT by December, according to Ship & Bunker. The monthly target was 250,000 MT.
The Malta-founded trading house announced the hub at Alkagesta Expands Singapore Commodity Trading Hub, citing Singapore as the point where Asian markets met global capital. The office joined existing hubs in Malta, London, Geneva and Dubai.
Fintech News Singapore reported that the choice rested on location, legal framework and financial depth. IPS News quoted board member Pierre Gay describing Singapore as "a test of credibility."
The hub focused on trade finance — letters of credit, insurance and credit protection via 28 international banks — alongside KYC/AML checks, vessel and counterparty screening and a zero-tolerance sanctions policy. Alkagesta had been active in Singapore since 2020 through cargo arbitrage.
ScandAsia characterised the expansion as a structured bridge between European governance and Asian growth. The company later documented a site visit in Alkagesta at Horizon Terminal Singapore, Jurong Island and published its outlook in Singapore Marine Fuels 2026: Supply Resilience.
