The past year has been a year of challenges for the global bunker market. The global transition of the industry to the use of low-sulfur fuels that meet the new requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the reduction in world trade, the decline in cargo traffic, as well as the demand for marine fuel due to the Covid-19 pandemic have led to a significant transformation of the marine bunkering market.
How did these factors affect the market structure? What impact did they have on the cost of bunker fuel? How has the balance of supply and demand changed? Alternative marine fuels, scrubbers, blending – how does the industry intend to adhere to the requirements of IMO 2020? What will happen to the bunker fuel market in the future? What are the trends emerging in this segment?
