Reselling

Water-based activities are carried out by OK Marine, a Catom subsidiary, from offices in Lelystad and Tholen, and Slurink from its main branches in Dordrecht and Lobith. With a network of 6 modern bunker stations and 19 bunker vessels throughout the Netherlands, OK Marine is one of the biggest and most professional parties in water-based trade. OK Oliecentrale and OK Marine distinguish themselves by their service levels. Both of them have professional and customer oriented organisations with 24/7 services. The sales staff are knowledgeable and advise customers on complex issues pertaining to logistics over land and water, lubricating schedules, maintenance and product characteristics. From the Heino location, in-house developed services receive KIWA certification, including the installation of stationary fuel tanks and the inspection and maintenance of mobile fuel tanks.

Reselling involves the sale of fuels and lubricants to large, medium and small users in the business market. With a market share of over 20%, Catom is market leader in this segment. Until the end of 2017, the reselling activities primarily focused on land-based operations, serving customer segments such as agricultural companies, local and regional authorities, utility companies, construction firms, garages and haulage companies. Operating under the name of OK Marine, we serve customers on the water, in marine contracting, as well as in the shipping, fishing and cruise industries. Subsidiary OK Oliecentrale is the largest distributor of Shell fuels and lubricants in the Netherlands. Also, OK Oliecentrale is active in the reselling market on land under the brand name OK. The company has branch offices in Arnhem, Heino, Breda, Roermond and Staphorst.
