IBIA featured in Lloyd’s List: The Future of Bunkering in Europe

The bunkering sector in Europe is undergoing significant scrutiny, with the launch of the Bunkering Services Initiative in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region drawing industry-wide attention. Two recent articles from Lloyd’s List, Is bunkering’s race to the bottom finally ending?’ and ‘Why has the European bunker market been left to regulate itself?’, explore the drivers behind this development and the implications for suppliers, buyers, and regulators.

IBIA’s Executive Director, Alexander Prokopakis, and IBIA’s IMO Representative, Dr Edmund Hughes, were interviewed for these pieces. Both highlighted the importance of transparency and consistency in bunkering operations, while also stressing the practical challenges of global regulatory alignment and implementation.
