Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Maritime Energy sells heating oil and gasoline, according to its BBB profile, which also describes a convenience store, Maritime Farms, with nine locations. That profile says the business was established in 1939, was incorporated in Maine in 1977 and names John Ware as president. The company's website claims 87 years in business and offers residential and commercial credit applications, tune-up requests and quote requests online. The BBB grades it A+. A 2025 Google customer who drove in to fill an RV with diesel said the pump slowed at the start, and that inside they were told the station had not gotten a delivery. A 2025 Google reviewer found the diesel pump not working and not open that day. A 2025 Google reviewer wrote simply "Reasonable prices." **Strengths:** - BBB A+ grade — rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau - Reasonable pricing — a 2025 Google reviewer called the prices reasonable **Concerns:** - Diesel supply ran out — a 2025 customer was told no delivery had arrived - Pump out of service — a 2025 reviewer found the diesel pump not working - Price-gouging complaint — a BBB reviewer accused the company of price gouging ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Describes itself on the BBB as engaged in the sale of heating oil and gasoline, established in 1939 and incorporated in Maine in 1977 _(confidence: medium)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/me/rockland/profile/fuel-oil/maritime-energy-0021-58930) — “About (Better Business Bureau, self-described): Maritime Energy is engaged in the sale of heating oil and gasoline.
