Freeport Oil

Freeport Oil Company Limited (FOCOL) was formed in 1967 by the Grand Bahama Port Authority Limited (GBPA) as a distributor of petroleum products in Freeport, Grand Bahama. In 1982, a group of Bahamian investors acquired FOCOL and remained the sole supplier of petroleum products on the island. Since then, FOCOL has progressively expanded its operations in Grand Bahama to include Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) distribution and comprehensive retail petroleum operations. In January of 2006, with the acquisition of Shell Bahamas Limited, FOCOL dramatically extended its retailing and bulk petroleum distribution businesses throughout The Commonwealth and into The Turks & Caicos under the management of a new holdings subsidiary, Sun Oil Limited. Sun Oil Limited has emerged as an integrated energy supplier with an extensive distribution network and superior product lines, like Shell Quality Fuels and Lubricants which are trusted globally to power and protect the most sophisticated vehicles, machinery and equipment on the planet. Above all, we take pride in our long standing reputation as an exemplary corporate citizen. This commitment to Bahamian national development is demonstarted through our numerous investments in sporting, cultural and educational initiatives that help to create stronger families and communities. Today, with over 1,400 Bahamian shareholders, a highly-skilled professional and committed workforce of over 330 Bahamian employees and consistently stellar business performance that adds value for shareholders we remain true to our enduring mission, that is to "Fuel growth for people!"
