A/S Dan Bunkering Offers New

Fixed Price Arrangement

A/S Dan Bunkering has devised a new fixed price agreement for shipowners and operators.

The company has established a hedg- ing concept — designed to run for six to 12 months — which has been tested for more than a year with a range of select clients. The client gets an agreed amount of fuel delivered at a firm price per ton, and an agreement is made for a specific harbor/bunker location. For the plan to work efficiently, the client has to be fairly sure of the amount to be lifted during the agreement period.

While the agreements are irrevocable, there is some protection. There is an option to include a "down-side opportu- nity" which allows the bunker buyer to benefit in case the bunker markets fall below a certain level.

According to the company, its fixed price agreement puts the responsibility of purchasing bunkers onto the bunker company in return for advantageous prices.
