Factors Affecting the Growth of the Bunker Fuel Industry:

● Low-Sulfur Fuel Shift

Strict environmental regulations fuel demand for low sulfur bunker fuels. The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) global sulfur cap requires shipping companies to use very low sulfur fuel oils (VLSFO). Fast growing shipping routes fueled by busy ports in Asia-Pacific and greener shipping policies in Europe are accelerating the transition to VLSFO bunkers. BP has offered VLSFO blends that comply with IMO global requirements, given the significant majority of the world's shipping distance are served by the major shipping routes BP has established. This trend creates a beneficial environment that can fuel growth of the market by supporting global emission targets and mean re-thinking maritime fuel alternatives.

● Alternative Fuel Adoption

Increased interest in sustainable shipping fuels - such as biofuels and LNG - are changing the demand for bunker fuel. The North America focus on clean energy sources, such as wind, solar, and LNG, along with the adoption of sustainable and innovative port systems in the Asia-Pacific regions allows for the trial & use of sustainable fuel sources. Trials on biofuels routes by Maersk in Europe came to fruition and set plans to trial zero-carbon routes. This will help increase growth in the market as it creates more sustainable fuel options for carriers and shippers as well appeal to shippers who are conscious of the environment. Sustainable fuels such as biofuels and LNG will support a longer-term sustainable future for the shipping industry, which are more important than ever as the public become more aware of long-lasting policy efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

● Digital Fuel Optimization

IoT solutions and advanced analytics to optimize consumption of bunker fuel will provide an efficiency boost. The adoption of Smart Shipping in Europe and fully automated 'digital' ports in the Asia-Pacific provide model examples for wider acceptance of a smart shipping approach to maritime logistics. Shell's fuel-monitoring systems, which are employed by fleets worldwide, have the potential to reduce the cost and greenhouse gas emissions associated with fuelling vessels. This trend will continue to drive growth in the market as smart shipping improves operational efficiency amid demands for alternatives to the current high cost and low-environmental favourability of maritime logistics.
