• Marine Fuels 360 China

    Dates:   2019 June 26 - 2019 June 27

    An upside for China’s marine fuel markets is around the corner, driven by not just IMOs 2020 call, but also the country’s own ECA regulations for its entire coastline from 2019. With the bonded bunker market now just under 10 million metric tonnes and a continued push to expand the industry, the market drivers are clearly taking shape.

    Furthermore, as ship owners move into a decisive phase of compliance decisions, the uncertainty surrounding fuel supply, quality and enforcement are creating challenges. How are global suppliers and owners responding, and where does China fit in? Where are the opportunities in collaborating for compliance, penetrating new markets and ensuring a sustainable strategy? China’s only such forum will bring together the right decision makers to address these issues.
