Late 2023 may well be an inflexion point for the ARA bunker market – and the global marine fuels sector.

The inclusion of shipping in the EU’s Emissions Trading System will mean profound change for both Europe-based and international owners, and bunker companies will also have to keep ahead of the curve.”
