CALPAM OFFERS MORE THAN 50 YEARS
OF EXPERTISE IN BUNKER TRADING
AND BROKERAGE FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS

Calpam Hamburg was founded in 1970 as a bunker and lubricants trading house to market Chevron branded marine products to the European shipping industry.

The origin of the brand goes back to a joint venture between Standard Oil of CALifornia (Chevron) and Dutch oil trading house PAM.

For more than 25 years, Calpam physically supplied all kinds of bunkers at ARA and German ports, using chartered and self-owned barges. Today, the name Calpam is still being used for inland supplies in the Netherlands.

During the early eighties the company commenced its international bunker trading activity.

The Bolloré Group became the sole owner of Calpam in 1989 following Chevron’s decision to withdraw from the European market.
