Madrid-based energy company Cepsa has predicted that 0.5% sulphur bunker fuels could be $110 to $130 cheaper per metric tonne than marine gasoil in Spanish ports after an International Maritime Organisation sulphur cap regulation takes effect in 2020. High sulphur oil prices should be cheaper by $250 to $300/mt, according to a bunker trader at Cepsa. The spread between the 0.5% fuel and high sulphur fuel will determine if investing in emissions cleaning will pay off for a shipowner. Cepsa has said it plans to make a single 0.5% fuel available but hasn't released any specifications.
