Economics of Supplying Bunker Fuel, International workshop 26 - 27 April 2010, Saint-Petersburg, Russia

Fuel Oil Trading and Bunker Supply Economics
International workshop
26-27 April, Saint-Petersburg

The final ratification of MARPOL Annex VI has raised concerns that bunker fuel quality in many of Europe’s key ports could deteriorate without improvement in fuel blending techniques. Under the revised regulations, the requirement to blend residual fuel to 1.0% sulphur at the lowest possible cost could result in an increasing number of ‘off spec’ low sulphur bunker fuel supplies. In order to meet 1.0% sulphur specifications, intermediate fuel oil (IFO) with higher sulphur content is blended with low sulphur cleaner fuel, or distillates, as part of a delicate blending process undertaken by the bunker supplier.

The workshop focuses on blending and component selection as well as supply and demand of all types of bunkers, storage and distribution economics, quality standards, sampling and test methods.

The key issues are:

The impact of environmental regulations on fuel and bunker market

Bunker demand and production. Detailed overview of bunker fuels supplies in Russian and European ports

Russian and CIS Fuel Oil Production and Export

Pricing, bunker price and credit risk management, and compliance

Strategic purchasing and supplying and commercial issues

Abatement, testing and measurement
