Listed Greek-American Aegean Petroleum Network, which holds a USD 7.8 million claim in the bankrupt OW Bunker estate, has in the meantime been buying up part of the company's fuel oil at an auction in the US.

Several media outlets report that the company managed to acquire fuel in California. The American branch of Aegean has purchased 150,000 barrels of fuel oil which the company won at an auction in California with a bid of USD 12.5 million.

The company has also, according to Bunkerworld, made a deal with terminal Vopak in Los Angeles to acquire a stock of 31,000 tons (mt) owned by subsidiary OW Bunker Holding North America.
