| As national and global environmental regulatory levers come into play, the bunker industry must manage its conventional fuels business while laying the groundwork for what is to come in terms of new energy choices as shipping considers its options for compliance with decarbonisation targets and mandates.
MEBC 26 will ask what ‘business as usual' looks like for the marine fuels sector as profit margins continue to come under pressure, sanctions regimes tighten, and US tariffs - and counter-tariffs - have the potential to play havoc with global trade flows. Speakers at this year's conference will consider how traders, physical suppliers and ship owners and operators are faring in a business climate where geo-political and economic uncertainty is currently ‘the norm'. The changing dynamic of the Middle East bunker sector, with players entering and exiting the market, will also be front and centre in MEBC discussions in 2026. While regulations such as the IMO's Net Zero Framework and the EU's FuelEU Maritime and Emissions Trading System (ETS) are intended to kickstart and support shipping's journey to net zero emissions, their impact on shipping's fuel bill is already being keenly felt. At MEBC, experts will discuss compliance costs and strategies and how prepared shipping is - across all segments - in this new era where just paying the financial penalty for non-compliance is not a sustainable business strategy. ‘Doing business better' will also be a key theme at MEBC26, with discussions centred on digitalisation, transparency, efficiency, counterparty credit, effective risk management and the timing of alternative fuel strategies.
