At the recent International Marina and Boatyard Conference in Fort Lauderdale, ValvTect Petroleum, leading supplier of marine fuels, presented its 2011 Marina of the Year Award to Bridge Marina on Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey.

The ValvTect Marina of the Year Award is presented annually to a ValvTect Certified Marina for outstanding operation, total commitment to customer service and environmental stewardship.

Bridge Marina is one of nearly 600 ValvTect Certified Marinas across the U.S. and the Caribbean that provide ValvTect Marine Gasoline and ValvTect Marine Diesel, specially-formulated for marine engines to prevent fuel related problems from ethanol blended gasoline and ultra low sulfur diesel fuel. The facility, a New Jersey Clean Marina, is located lakeside just north of Brady Bridge on Lake Hopatcong. Easily accessible by boat or car, Bridge Marina is centrally located on the Lake and just minutes away from Routes 15 and 80.

“We are pleased to be recognized by ValvTect for the high quality, professional services we provide our guests,” said Ray Fernandez, the third-generation family operator of Bridge Marina.

“We are proud to award the prestigious ValvTect Marina of the Year Award to Bridge Marina, which exemplifies the high standards of the Certified ValvTect Marina program for outstanding customer service, environmental stewardship and commitment to their community,” said Jerry Nessenson, President of ValvTect Petroleum.
