  • Latest News- Bunker Fuel Market: MGO is expected to lead the Type segment during 2025-2029

    The Bunker Fuel Market is being driven by Increasing naval expenditure

    The Bunker Fuel Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 33.8 billion. The maritime industry is witnessing a notable shift towards the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as an alternative fuel for ocean-going vessels. LNG offers several advantages, including its ability to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as it is odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. Moreover, LNG evaporates quickly upon exposure to air, leaving no residue behind. Despite oil-based fuels being the primary choice for marine transportation, LNG is gaining prominence due to the escalating number of LNG projects in execution and planning. Compliance with current emission norms is a significant factor driving the adoption of LNG as a fuel, as it can substantially decrease sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
