Bunker Fuels Industry

Changing

The international marine bunker market, which costs ship operators upwards of $15 billion a year at current prices, is undergoing a pe- riod of fundamental change, accord- ing to a report from Drewry Ship- ping Consultants. "Marine Bunker Fuels - Markets,

Economics and Technical Develop- ments," indicates that worldwide de- mand for marine bunkers is now in excess of 150 million tons, of which 83 percent is accounted for by fuel oil. Total demand has oscillated widely in the last two decades, with the most recent low in the market occuring in 1985, when consump- tion dropped to 123 million tons as a result of the collapse in world trade and the requirement for ships.
