Bunker Fuel Key Market Trends:
Implementation of IMO 2020 Regulations: The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has introduced new regulations that require ships to use bunker fuel with a lower sulfur content. This has led to a shift towards low-sulfur fuels such as marine gas oil (MGO) and marine diesel oil (MDO).
Increase in LNG as a Bunker Fuel: With the implementation of IMO 2020, there has been an increased interest in liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a bunker fuel due to its lower emissions and sulfur content. Many shipping companies are investing in LNG-fueled ships, and the availability of LNG bunkering infrastructure is increasing globally.
Rise of Scrubber Technology: Scrubber technology has become increasingly popular as a way for ships to comply with IMO 2020 regulations without switching to low-sulfur fuels. Scrubbers remove sulfur dioxide from exhaust gases, allowing ships to continue using high-sulfur bunker fuel.
