Kenan Advantage Group (KAG), North Canton OH, has entered into a five-year fuel transportation agreement with Hess Corp to be the single-source provider of bulk fuel transportation for all of the company’s gasoline-retail convenience stores in central and south Florida, according to KAG information.
The new contract went into effect January 1, 2009.
"KAG’s regional and national scale coupled with their reliable execution helps us to effectively manage our fuel supply in the demanding Florida marketplace," said Dave Cerulo, Hess traffic and administration manager. "After a 10-year relationship with KAG, we are confident in their ability to provide us with value-added services to meet the challenges of an ever changing and dynamic industry."
Bruce Blaise, KAG executive vice-president of the fuels delivery group, said: "The Florida market can be tricky from a fuels transportation perspective due to significant seasonal volume changes and a constrained product supply infrastructure. With North America’s largest fuel transportation network, KAG is well positioned to address these challenges while providing superior supply chain execution to successful organizations such as Hess Corporation."
