Bunkering will be more geographical
Sourcing strategy will depend on Client choices
- Scrubbers?
- Staying with Gas oil only is NOT a no-action choice
- Know the product coming on board (updated CoQ)
- Temperatures for heating/transfer/separation/injection
- What “type” of fuel ? Paraffinic or aromatic
- How many tanks?
- Separate lube systems?
- Heating on filters?
- Heating on distillate system?
- Segregate as much as possible!
- Keep your people (after additional training) in control, or BEING controlled onboard?
- Wax Vs Stability Vs Compatibility
Bunker fuel costs globally could rise by as much as $60 billion annually from 2020 if there is strict compliance to InternationalMaritime Organization’s 0.5% global sulfur cap, a mass scale shift to marine gasoil and a low uptake in scrubber technology as per globalconsulting firm Wood Mackenzie .
