Refined petroleum products
Ultra-low sulphur diesel and commercial gasoil across all seven emirates, and marine fuels at the principal ports.A Dubai energy trading company focused on refined petroleum products. We supply ultra-low sulphur diesel and commercial gasoil to industry across all seven emirates, and marine fuels to vessels calling at the UAE's principal ports.
Fuel Core was formed so that two decades of work in this market — at the terminal, on the desk, and at the manifold — would have a company as disciplined as the trade itself. Integrity, here, is whether the cargo arrives as nominated.
Fuel Core Fuel Trading LLC is a Dubai-registered energy trading company with a focus on refined petroleum products — distillates for industry and transport, and marine fuels for vessels in UAE waters.
The licence is recent. The people behind it are not. Our leadership has spent more than twenty years inside the UAE refined-products market: lifting cargoes from terminals at Jebel Ali and Fujairah, pricing against Platts Arab Gulf assessments, and running supply programmes for contractors, fleet operators and shipowners whose operations do not pause for a late tanker.
We do not pretend to be a national oil company. We are a focused trading house — close enough to the terminals to be reliable, and close enough to the customer to be accountable. That is the position from which serious supply is run in this market.
What we compete on is not the fourth decimal of a price. It is whether product arrives inside the window we committed to, at the specification printed on the certificate, with documentation that will satisfy an auditor, a class surveyor or a port state inspector.
Domestic supply, marine bunkering, and term trading. Different counterparties, the same discipline: specified product, a stated price basis, and a documented transfer.
01 / Downstream
Scheduled and call-off deliveries of diesel and gasoil to construction programmes, industrial plants, transport yards and critical facilities across the United Arab Emirates. Product is metered at the point of transfer and documented for every load.
02 / Marine
Marine gas oil, very low sulphur fuel oil and heavy fuel oil nominated for vessels calling at Fujairah, Jebel Ali and the Northern Emirates ports. Physical delivery is arranged through licensed bunker suppliers at the port — sampled and documented to ISO 8217 and MARPOL Annex VI.
03 / Trading
Monthly and annual offtake, and FOB, CIF or ex-terminal parcels for counterparties who lift their own product. Prices may be fixed, capped, or floated against Platts Arab Gulf — the basis is stated on the offer, never introduced on the invoice.
Sulphur content decides whether an engine survives, whether a port accepts the bunker, and what the fuel should cost. Select a grade for its specification, its intended duty, and what goes wrong if it is applied to the wrong plant.
Sulphur content, maximum
10 ppm
EN 590 / Euro 5
The cleanest automotive distillate moving in the Emirates, and the only grade suitable for engines fitted with exhaust after-treatment. Specified for late-model road fleets and for generator sets certified to Tier 4 or Stage V.

From the terminal position to the tank or the manifold. Six stages, one chain of accountability — the same sequence whether the drop is a thousand litres or a bunker stem.
Product is taken from standing positions at Jebel Ali and Fujairah, not assembled each morning from whoever happens to be cheapest. Those relationships are what make a delivery window credible when the market is tight.
Before an offer is issued we establish what the engines, burners or class requirements actually demand. Where a cheaper grade would damage equipment or breach the rules for the duty, we say so and quote the correct one.
Fixed for a defined period, floated against Platts Arab Gulf with an agreed premium, or capped above a ceiling you choose. The mechanism appears on the offer. The invoice does not invent one.
Each drop is assigned, and the vehicle and estimated arrival are confirmed before departure. Night, weekend and public-holiday slots are ordinary business.
Flow meters carry current calibration certificates and arrive with seals intact. The dip and the meter reading are yours to observe. We would rather you did.
A Certificate of Quality and a signed delivery note on every load; for bunkers, a bunker delivery note and sealed MARPOL samples. Loading ticket and delivery reconcile to one reference.
A piling rig and a container vessel have almost nothing in common, except that both stop earning the moment the tank runs dry.
01
Tower cranes, piling rigs, dozers and site generators on live programmes. Fuel is scheduled around the pour, not around our convenience.
Gasoil 500 ppm · EN 590
02
Nominations arranged at the principal UAE ports. Sample sets and delivery notes completed at the manifold, not reconstructed afterwards.
MGO DMA · VLSFO · HFO
03
Yard-based bulk supply for trucking and bus operators, with draw recorded per vehicle so cost per kilometre is a measurement.
EN 590 10 ppm
04
Boiler and furnace feedstock on a standing schedule, sized to storage so the plant is neither starved nor holding idle capital in a tank.
Gasoil · HFO 180 / 380 cSt
05
Drilling support, workover rigs and desert camps — where the access road is a minor problem and the shutdown window is the real one.
EN 590 · Gasoil 500 ppm
06
Data centres, hospitals, airports and malls. Scheduled top-ups, fuel conditioning, and a line that reaches a person at four in the morning.
EN 590 10 ppm
Mainland and free zone, coast to interior. If the site sits at the end of a graded track two hours past the last roundabout, say so on the enquiry — it changes the schedule, not the answer.
Grade, volume, location and frequency. You will receive a price with its basis stated, and a delivery window you can plan around.
