More bunker surcharges expected if VLSFO premium escalates further
The spread between very low sulphur fuel oil and high sulphur bunker has gone up significantly over the past three months, and may lead carriers to impose higher bunker surcharges if the trend continues, according to box shipping consultancy Sea-Intelligence
Ship&Bunker data shows that the premium of VLSFO against high sulphur bunker IFO380 has more than doubled between October 7, 2019 and January 3, 2020
