Ship-fuel suppliers to become fuel consultants?
It seems like a sound idea, but bunkering companies will have a lot on their hands from Jan 1, 2020, when refuelling ships will be a complicated-enough business
Add BT as a preferred sourceLAST week's Singapore International Bunkering Conference and Exhibition (SIBCON) covered many aspects of the marine fuel business, but in reality, only one big issue dominated the two days. That issue was, of course, the impending global 0.5 per cent cap on sulphur in fuel.
Some speakers tried hard to switch the focus to reducing the industry's carbon footprint, but for most ship operators, the priority was and will remain this: How to cope with the impending major regulatory change.
