Minimising density discrepancy to achieve bunker savings
With the rise in bunker prices, shipowners are increasingly focusing on achieving savings when buying fuel, particularly in the shipping sectors where earnings have not shown similar growth. This time we look into the importance of minimising the discrepancy between the BDN (bunker delivery note) and the tested density, also called density short lift, as well as highlight the best and the worst performing ports and discuss the options the shipowners have to manage this risk.
