History
A Proudly South African Success Story
Founded in 1974 by Tony and Diane Hurter in Durban, FFS began as a small operation recovering oil from refinery waste dams. From supplying our very first customer, The Union Whaling Co, we’ve grown into one of South Africa’s largest diversified independent fuel companies — with operations spanning marine bunkering, base oil production, tank terminals, and industrial energy solutions.
Over the decades, FFS has expanded through strategic acquisitions, new facilities, and pioneering innovations — from building our first harbour tank farms to launching cutting-edge base oil refineries. We’ve supplied power to major industries, developed sustainable fuel processes, and adapted to South Africa’s evolving energy landscape.
