Global Bunker Fuel Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Bunker fuel, also known as marine fuel or ship fuel, is a type of fuel specifically designed for use in large ocean-going vessels such as ships and tankers. It is a heavy, viscous residual fuel oil derived from crude oil refining processes. Bunker fuel has a high sulfur content, which is gradually being regulated and reduced in accordance with international environmental standards. It is typically used in marine diesel engines due to its energy density and availability. Bunker fuel is classified into different grades based on its viscosity and sulfur content, with higher grades having higher viscosity and sulfur content. It is stored in dedicated fuel tanks on ships and is used to power the main propulsion engines as well as auxiliary equipment on board. Bunker fuel is a vital component of global shipping operations, providing the necessary energy for the transportation of goods across the world＇s oceans.
