In this landscape, stability, reliability, and long-term partnerships are more important than ever, creating a clear opportunity for trusted providers with the scale, expertise, and presence to deliver consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Peninsula, the Americas are not just a regional footprint, they are a core growth market. Over the past three decades, we have built a resilient and expanding presence across North, Central, and South America, supporting customers as their operations evolve and scale across the region. This long-standing commitment continues to unlock opportunities for both Peninsula and our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our strength lies in combining physical supply capability with strong local execution and coordinated regional support. With a physical presence in key hubs such as Panama and Houston, alongside commercial offices in Panama, Houston, and Montevideo, our teams are well positioned to support back-to-back customers and manage bunkering programmes seamlessly across multiple ports and time zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This on-the-ground presence is a critical differentiator. It enables faster decision-making, closer alignment with customer needs, and consistent service delivery, all essential in a region characterised by diversity, complexity, and rapid change. Whether operating in established hubs or emerging markets, our customers benefit from the same high standards, operational discipline, and hands-on support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Americas continue to present significant opportunities for growth. As trade flows evolve and demand for reliable marine energy solutions increases, the need for dependable, well-coordinated supply partners will only intensify. Peninsula is well positioned to meet this demand, underpinned by our infrastructure, expertise, and long-term commitment to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we continue to strengthen our footprint, our focus remains clear: to support our customers with confidence, consistency, and capability wherever they operate across the Americas. This commitment will also be reflected at <a href=\"https:\/\/ship.energy\/conference\/maritime-week-americas-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maritime Week Americas<\/a> in Panama, where Peninsula will be present as Platinum Sponsor, reinforcing our engagement with customers and partners across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our presence will be led by <strong>Jonas Bentsen, Head of Specialised Products,<\/strong> who will present on <em>Embracing New Fuels<\/em>, alongside <strong>Jeroen de Vos, Global Head of Operations and Vice-Chair of IBIA<\/strong>, who will take part in the Maritime Week Americas Leadership Panel. Together, their participation reflects Peninsula\u2019s active role in shaping the industry\u2019s future while continuing to deliver reliable, forward-looking solutions across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Integrated supply strength and regional execution across key Americas
