Abstract

The issue of bunker adjustment factors invariably provokes a strong reaction in the shipping industry, covering the gamut of viewpoints. There can be few other subjects in the maritime sector and along the logistics supply chain on which opinions are so polarized. Many bunker clauses have been created at points in time with significant higher bunker cost levels and IFO380 as a reference. However, this year the price of oil has reached record lows. In this session, we will focus on bunker shares and showcase a live example of what shippers and their service providers must do to be prepared for an increase in oil prices in the future.
