Expanding International Seaborne Trade

Global trade heavily relies on maritime routes, with maritime transport playing a vital role in the global economy and international trade.

According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the global fleet expanded by 3.04% in 2021 compared to 2020, excluding general cargo ships. International trade was projected to reach US$ 28 trillion in 2021, marking a 23% increase from the previous year. This rise in global seaborne trade is expected to drive up the demand for bunker fuel, creating valuable opportunities for market players.

Rising Offshore Exploration and Production Activities Worldwide

The growing demand for resources such as coal, crude oil, iron, and steel is fueling offshore exploration and production activities. This, in turn, is increasing the demand for bunker fuel globally. Marine bunkering companies provide essential bunker fuel and related services to the oil and gas industry.

Advancements in technology are leading to more exploration activities in deep offshore locations and specific oil and gas fields. The offshore fleet includes various vessels, such as stand-by vessels, cable layers, anchor handlers, and exploration vessels. As exploration activities accelerate and the demand for hydrocarbon reserves rises, there is a shift from onshore to offshore exploration. Consequently, offshore production of hydrocarbons is significantly contributing to the demand for bunker fuel.

Competitive Landscape

Producers of bunker fuel are focusing on maintaining high product standards, implementing rigorous quality control, and enhancing supply chain management systems to strengthen their global presence and add value to their offerings.

The bunker fuel market is characterized by consolidation, with a few large-scale vendors dominating the industry. Major players are investing significantly to broaden their reach and cater to global consumers. Strategies such as partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, and collaborations are commonly employed to expand their market footprint.

For example:

In January 2022, Titan LNG secured a contract to supply LNG (liquefied natural gas) to the Port of Marseille for Corsica Linea's new LNG-fueled ferry, Ro-Pax. This move marks Titan LNG's expansion into the Mediterranean market, ensuring the long-term availability of bio-LNG, LNG, and hydrogen-derived LNG.
In December 2021, Minerva Bunkering began offering its marine fuel services at the Red Sea Ports of Yandu and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
