SUNRISE, Fla., Sept. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fuelstream, Inc. (OTCQB:FLST) ("Fuelstream" or the "Company" announces it has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Silverside Group for the procurement of up to 300,000 Barrels of Aviation Jet Fuel per week directly from a gulf coast refinery. By taking delivery at the refinery, Fuelstream will have the flexibility to ship the fuel via pipeline to various airport storage facilities throughout the southeastern United States and hold a competitive pricing advantage against resellers in the region. If the MOU becomes effective, Fuelstream will be positioned to bid on tenders provided by major airlines who commit to large volumes delivered into storage instead of the more common into-wing.
Robert Catala, CEO of Fuelstream said "We are excited that Silverside Group and Fuelstream have entered into this MOU as it provides immediate benefits to both companies. Fuelstream will be able to procure jet fuel at much larger quantities and direct the delivery to preferred locations. Silverside will have a vendor for their inventory of jet fuel with the ability to move these quantities. Hopefully this will increase industry awareness of Fuelstream as a viable source for jet fuel as we grow our presence in the US. Not only will Fuelstream grow exponentially as a reseller, but will also join ranks with the major distributors of jet fuel in the region. Paula Villegas, Trade Manager for Silverside, added "We have carefully analyzed different companies that share mutual complementary values and purpose, Fuelstream was selected for their expertise in logistics and worldwide presence in the Aviation fuel industry, and they will enable us to enter the market much quicker than if we were to enter it alone." Silverside will provide the financing and the fuel, while Fuelstream provides the customers, it`s that simple.
