A new report claims the Red Sea crisis is having a knock-on effect on compliance with low-sulphur fuel compliance.
Integr8 Fuels bunker quality and claims manager Chris Turner has tallied a 30% rise in incidents of very low-sulphur fuel oil supplies being off-specification in ports along the African coast and into the Mediterranean as far as Barcelona.
“Geopolitical events often have a knock-on effect on fuel quality, sometimes relating to blending economics, and occasionally, also relating to the impact on barge infrastructure because of rapidly changing demand,” Turner said.
