Risk Management

Oil prices are volatile. Bunker fuels make up the largest operating expense of a ship owner or charterer’s bottom line. Add them together and you see soaring costs in an unpredictable market.

We offer an extensive range of financial and risk management instruments to hedge this uncertainty and keep your procurement costs low and manageable. We also actively manage derivative portfolios for you, in view of favourable price movements.
