Asia Bunker and Shipping Summit 2022 | S&P Global Commodity Insights | 14 June 2022 | Grand Hyatt Singapore, 10 Scotts Rd, Singapore 228211

The Summit will be focusing on everything bunker and shipping; from outlooks, regulation deep dives, analysis of the effects of energy transition, what options we have in fueling our ships from traditional bunker fuels to alternative fuels, and more.

Since the implementation of IMO 2020 and the start of the pandemic, container rates have soared to unrecognizable levels, far surpassing previous all-time highs. With delays and vessel queues mounting, and a broader shift from 'just in time' shipping to 'just in case', the trailblazing container market, which is paving the way with future fuel adoption, is balanced on a knife-edge.

On the other hand, tanker markets are sailing into headwinds with spot freight rates plummeting to levels that barely cover operating expenses of shipowners. Although oil demand is starting to revive, the OPEC production cuts have dried up cargo volumes for the tanker market. Daunting challenges are on the way with new decarbonization regulations expected to kick in soon.

The bunker industry has had its own challenges as it grapples with the pandemic, with transparency, energy transition, efficiency through digitalization, and aiding shipping’s decarbonization journey being key themes in a landscape where there is intense competition and margins are being squeezed.
