Reselling is 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. Under the name of OK Marine, we serve customers on the water, in marine contracting, the shipping industry and the cruise industry, from offices in Lelystad and Tholen. As from 3 November 2022, the Slurink Group has been added to this. For over a century and a half, the Slurink name has been associated with inland shipping. The company’s history dates from the late 1800s with Pouwel Slurink in Zwartsluis; since then it has grown into a network of 6 modern bunker stations with 14 bunker vessels all over the Netherlands. Slurink is a household name and one of the largest and most professional parties in the trade on water. OK Oliecentrale and OK Marine distinguish themselves by their service levels. Both of them have professional and customeroriented 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. OK Marine owns five vessels and the Batavia port in Lelystad is one of our OK Marine locations. Pleasure boats can fuel up there, for diesel and GTL, and our office employees are always busy keeping the administration in order. Our bunker boats, also referred to as “De Bartjes”, leave the port on a daily basis to provide rivercraft with diesel and lubricants. With the acquisition of Slurink, we add the bunker locations Dordrecht, Zaltbommel, Amsterdam, Hansweert, Lobith (Tolkamer) and Vlissingen, where “de Zwaantjes” serve inland shipping and fishing customers on a daily basis.Catom holds its own stocks of both OK and Shell lubricants so as to enable it to supply customers efficiently and on time. Storage and warehousing are partly performed in-house. Part of the storage and warehousing has been outsourced to two professional service providers (one for packaged products and one for bulk products), in connection with distribution to end customers. The entire operation is controlled by OK employees, with a keen focus on customer satisfaction (ordered today, delivered tomorrow).
