IOE’s journey

2008
Founded in 2008
Founded in 2008 with a single bunker barge, MT KANDY, IOE began its journey with a clear vision to deliver reliable marine fuel solutions across Sri Lanka. Starting operations in Colombo, Hambantota, and Galle, the company steadily built a reputation for service excellence, operational efficiency and trusted partnerships.
2016
Demand grew up
As demand grew, so did IOE’s ambitions. In 2016, the company expanded into Trincomalee Port with the acquisition of MT Ocean Trinco, becoming one of only two authorised operators in the port alongside Lanka Indian Oil Company (LIOC). This milestone marked a new chapter in IOE’s nationwide presence and strategic growth.
2018
Fleet strengthened with MT Ocean Lanka
Continuing its momentum, IOE further strengthened its fleet in 2018 with the addition of MT Ocean Lanka, the largest capacity barge in Sri Lanka and enhancing service capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the maritime industry.
2026
Today, with 18 years of industry experience,
IOE has grown from humble beginnings into a recognized market leader in Sri Lanka’s bunkering sector, driven by reliability, growth, and a commitment to powering the future of shipping owning the largest bunker barge fleet as at to-date and operating in all major Ports in Sri Lanka.

Coverage In Brief.

Colombo

Colombo is Sri Lanka’s largest and busiest port, serving as a transshipment hub in South Asia. Strategically located along major East–West shipping routes, it handles a wide range of cargo including containers, bulk, and liquid products. With high vessel traffic and well-developed infrastructure, Colombo is the primary hub for bunkering, offshore services, and maritime support operations.

Galle

Galle is a naturally sheltered port located along the southwest coast, in close proximity to the main East–West maritime route. Primarily used for offshore services, crew changes, and smaller-scale operations, it offers a convenient and low-deviation stop for vessels. Its location makes it ideal for quick turnaround services and support activities.

Hambantota

Hambantota is a modern deep-sea port located on the southern coast, positioned close to key international shipping lanes. Designed as a multipurpose and industrial port, it handles Ro-Ro cargo, bulk commodities, and energy-related shipments. With ongoing development and expansion, Hambantota is emerging as a growing logistics and bunkering hub in the region.

Trincomalee

Trincomalee is one of the world’s largest natural deep-water harbors, located on the northeastern coast of Sri Lanka. Known for its depth and sheltered conditions, it is well-suited for bulk cargo, energy operations, and large vessel
handling. With significant development potential, Trincomalee is positioned to become a key industrial and energy hub in the region.
