Industry Note No. 7 - 2020 Bunker Regulation - "A Refined View"
This note was authored by our industry partners, JBC Energy, a boutique oil market research company, with regard to the upcoming bunker regulation that will go into effect in 2020. The group recently released a multi-client study that tackles the IMO regulatory change from every relevant angle, providing a detailed take on supply, demand and price changes that have to be expected in the wake of this sizeable spec switch. The main goal of the study was not only to provide insight into the supply options for bunker fuel with a 0.5% sulphur limit, but also to highlight the side effects this will have on other fuel markets and perhaps nearly equally important, how the world is going to deal with the large amounts of at least temporarily unused high sulphur fuel oil.
