Major Drivers of U.S. Bunker Fuel Market
The rise in international seaborne trade is boosting the bunker fuel market in the U.S. The seaborne trade in the country is performing well, supported by the upswing in the economy. Seaborne trade includes shipping, intercontinental trade, bulk transport of raw materials, and import/export of affordable food and manufactured goods.
The increase in offshore exploration and production, due to rise in demand for resources such as crude oil, coal, steel, and iron, is estimated to propel the demand for bunker fuel in the near future. Rapid technological development has boosted oil & gas exploration activities at deep offshore locations and other marginal oil and gas fields.
Companies supplying bunker fuel have strategically opened bunkering divisions in ports that are close to major offshore hydrocarbon basins, as bunkering requirements are significantly high for some offshore support vessels. Thus, growth in offshore exploration and production activities is projected to drive the bunker fuel market in the U.S. in the near future.
