Integr8 Fuels will again participate in this year’s Middle East Bunkering Convention (MEBC), taking place in Dubai on 05-07 February 24.

Bunker Quality & Claims Manager, Chris Turner, will deliver a presentation on the new world of bunkering, exploring how stakeholders will have to evolve to deal with the commercial and technical challenges driven by decarbonisation and fuel quality. It is a matter of survival of the fittest; those who embrace change and those who do not.

Chris will also join an expert panel for Session 1. As geopolitical headwinds continue to impact the shipping industry, speakers in this opening session will consider how vessel trading patterns are being adapted in response to the current volatile economic climate, on a global scale and regionally. Is ‘deglobalisation’ set to become a future trend and how might this affect various vessel segments and bunkering?

Speakers will examine the current commercial pressures on bunker companies, including fuel prices, the availability of credit, bunker licensing, and fuel quality challenges. As margins have narrowed over the past year, this session will consider whether more industry consolidation is on the horizon. Are bunker companies having to become ‘leaner and fitter’ to stay ahead and how are they approaching issues such as staff recruitment and retention?

Exploring the real term benefits of bunker licencing and regulation. 

Integr8’s Bunker Quality and Claims Manager, Chris Turner, explores the sometimes-polarising subject of bunker licencing, regulation, and the mandating of Mass Flow Metres (MFMs) in certain ports.

This presentation was recorded live at Petrospot’s 2023 Middle Eastern Bunkering Convention in Dubai, UAE on February 8, 2023.
