Hong Kong headquartered Gulf Oil Marine, which celebrates its 5th anniversary this year, has seen harsh conditions virtually since the day it was formed. "This company started three months before the crash in shipping," informs ceo Keith Mullin, explaining that when the decision to branch into marine lubricants was made by the Gulf Oil International Group back in early 2008, things were going "gangbusters". As the guiding force for the company during the current economic turmoil, he is tasked with making Gulf Marine a force to contend with, pitting it against major competitors including his former employer BP. The company currently employs 82 individuals and boasts a network of over 900 ports in 80+ countries around the world. It offers a complete range of lubricants including EALs and cylinder oils and supplies a number of high profile customers including Vale's VLOC ships.
