Caribbean Islands Bunker Fuel Market Size, Top Companies, Annual Forecast 2023

The estimated size of the natural gas resources has steadily risen since the 1990s, due to the increased feasibility of extracting gas from unconventional deposits. LNG, which includes shale gas, tight gas, coal bed methane, and methane hydrates, has been difficult and expensive to exploit than conventional deposits, until recently. These resources are projected to help close the widening gap between domestic production and consumption, but present greater environmental challenges in their production.

The Caribbean Islands bunker fuel market was valued at $8,931 million in 2017 and is projected to reach $16,404 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 10.7% from 2017 to 2023.

International Maritime Organizations (IMO) regulation to implement sulfur cap for marine fuels and increase in marine-borne trade drive the growth of the Caribbean islands bunker fuel market growth. In addition, the availability of alternative sources for marine fuel is expected to supplement the market growth in the future. However, high investment cost involved in the development of bunker fuel infrastructure & regulatory framework and old vessel replacement from wasteful to new fuel-efficient ships impedes the market growth.

It has been observed that the HFO and MDO are used as fuels in most of the marine fleet engines and generators. These fuels are produced from crude oil, which is a nonrenewable fossil fuel. The IMO has authorized for a global sulfur cap of 0.5% on marine fuels, which is expected to be implemented from January 1, 2020, a reduction from the current cap of 3.5%. The low-sulfur requirement is expected to have a significant impact on the global shipping and refining industries. The 2020 date is subject to a review of the required availability of marine bunker fuel. Therefore, MDO/MGO is considered as one of the feasible alternatives to diversify and secure fuel consumption in various end-use industries. Light distillate bunker fuels ensure enhanced environmental performance of marine trade, including decreased greenhouse emissions.

However, obsolete vessels have been replaced by more competent boats over the years, which in turn is expected to hinder the market growth. Moreover, the change in vessel is expected to affect the fuel mix utilized, as the changing regulations in various trade routes demand different norms to be implemented. Less fuel consumption in fuel-efficient ships is expected to deter the market growth during the forecast period.
