Bunkering Service Market Scope
Bunkering services include the supply of marine fuels to ships and other ocean-going vessels such as oil tankers, container vessels, cargo vessels, cruise ships, and ferries, as well as vessels used in the upstream oil and gas industry such as offshore support vessels, submersible and semisubmersible rigs, and FPSO vessels. Bunkering may be divided into two types: onshore bunkering and offshore bunkering. Onshore bunkering is when marine fuel is pumped into boats by refuelling vessels like as barges, product tankers, or other ships in harbours, close to shore, or in open waters. Increased activity in the upstream oil and gas industry, as well as supportive government regulations, will have a beneficial influence on the bunkering services business, helping industry participants that provide bunkering services.
