Challenging market conditions continue for the bunker market. Russian's invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions have impacted global supply chains in energy and beyond. Economic and market volatility are upon us. What does the future hold for the bunker market and what does 2023 and beyond look like?

This year's challenge for the market is to manage volatility while investing in the shift to low and zero-carbon fuels for the next regulatory milestones. Bunker suppliers must continue to establish footholds in the alternative fuels space and shipping companies must continue to explore options away from conventional bunkers to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. Although the main market to talk about here remains LNG, Methanol is rapidly becoming another stand-out fuel. But these are just near-term solutions, how do longer-term hopes around Ammonia and Hydrogen fare?
