Making Fuel Buying Easy for Cruise Lines with Shiptech

In the cruise industry, managing fuel purchases is crucial for controlling costs and improving efficiency. With changing fuel prices and strict environmental rules, cruise companies need advanced solutions that provide real-time insights and optimization. This is where Shiptech can help.

Why Cruise Lines Need to Change Fuel Procurement

The shipping industry contributes 2.1% to global carbon dioxide emissions. With initiatives like the IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator and EU’s FuelEU Maritime, there’s increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact. The IMO has set ambitious emission reduction targets for 2030, 2040 and 2050.

The focus on reducing emissions and adopting alternative fuels makes procurement more complex. Cruise lines must optimize fuel buying to stay competitive and compliant.

Data-Driven Decision-Making Is the Future

Fuel procurement directors face challenges like ensuring reliable deliveries, selecting high-quality suppliers, and avoiding off-spec fuels. Using data and analytics can help address these issues and enable informed, quick decisions.
