left\"><strong>Regional<\/strong> <strong>disruptions are fragmenting bunker supply <\/strong><strong>access gl<\/strong><strong>obally<\/strong>, leaving some regions flush and others under strain \u2014 adding around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transportenvironment.org\/articles\/gulf-conflict-costing-shipping-industry-eur340-million-a-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EUR 4.6 bn<\/a> in additional costs on the industry since the war began.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Why this matters: <\/strong>This is a logistics problem masquerading as an energy crisis. The pressure point includes both oil supply and access to fuel at the right place and time. The closure of Hormuz has forced vessels to reroute from the Gulf toward Asian ports, concentrating demand into fewer bunkering hubs, and breaking the link between supply and access.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The network<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Disruptions are reshaping the network:<\/strong> As the world\u2019s third-largest bunkering hub, repeated attacks on Fujairah have forced partial shutdowns, with suppliers declaring force majeure. Despite these disruptions, some market participants report ongoing operational continuity \u2014 \u201cFujairah, as of now, has ample product availability for bunker inquiries and operations are running fairly smoothly,\u201d Senior Purchaser at Unicore Sean Burgin told EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Demand has all but vanished <\/strong>\u2014 with flows constrained, \u201cdemand has dropped to an almost standstill compared to the usual bunkering activity, which would result in some 40-50 bunkerings per day,\u201d Burgin said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>What remains is limited: <\/strong>\u201cThe only bunkering still occurring [in Fujairah] is ship-to-ship from barges. Once those stocks are gone, bunkering stops entirely,\u201d Tue Nielsen, CEO of Ofiniti, told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/44c0b1bf-f8aa-459f-bc2e-69b5a3a733e8?syn-25a6b1a6=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Reliability is coming into question:<\/strong> That volatility has degraded the port as a dependable refueling node, pushing demand toward alternative hubs like Singapore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Singapore is holding up, but the math doesn\u2019t look great:<\/strong> Inventories have been building as authorities stockpile and shipowners delay purchases at elevated prices, but that buffer is expected to erode quickly, with several Singapore-based petrochemicals suppliers already issuing force majeure notices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Prices have thus reacted accordingly:<\/strong> Very low sulfur fuel oil in Singapore <a href=\"https:\/\/splash247.com\/no-equivalent-in-living-memory-bunker-markets-face-historic-supply-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jumped<\/a> from USD 486 per ton in mid-February to around USD 1k by late-March, while in Fujairah it rose from USD 476 to USD 1.2k. Marine gas oil surged from USD 669 for Singapore and USD 747 for Fujairah to around USD 1.8k per ton for both hubs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>On the flip side, Atlantic bunkering hubs are holding up better. <\/strong>Asian buyers are \u201coutbidding\u201d Atlantic orders for spot fuel, pushing Singapore up USD 250 per ton over Rotterdam by late March \u2013 up from just USD 26 pre-war. Europe\u2019s less exposed supply lines mean ships rerouted from the Gulf may face fewer bottlenecks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The echoes<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The shift is forcing vessels into unusual roles: <\/strong>Operators are taking the unusual step of skipping cargo altogether to transport fuel to where it\u2019s needed. Tanker and container ships are increasingly being used to reposition fuel across routes, with some companies forgoing cargo to load additional bunker volumes, as some voyages between US and Singapore have become an ad hoc fuel corridor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>But the shift hasn\u2019t scaled: <\/strong>\u201cThe impact has been limited, there was a short term focus when bunker prices peaked in the second week of the conflict and stem sizes for bunker orders were minimized,\u201d Burgin said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The behavior reflects the scale of the fuel shock hitting the industry. <\/strong>Shipping lines are already paying the price \u2014 as firms with long-term fuel contracts are still exposed through quarterly price resets, as the surge in prices added some USD 82k per day to the operating cost of a large crude tanker. Across the industry, fuel now accounts for some 60% of a ship\u2019s typical operational costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The costs are being passed on: <\/strong>Maersk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maersk.com\/news\/articles\/2026\/03\/11\/emergency-bunker-surcharge-ebs-global\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">says<\/a> it has \u201cno alternative\u201d but to introduce a temporary emergency bunker surcharge to cover fuel availability and cost, while Hapag-Lloyd <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/03\/30\/today-can-rail-carry-gulf-trade-beyond-hormuz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noted<\/a> it\u2019s absorbing an additional USD 40-50 mn per week in costs, driven primarily by fuel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The disruption is large enough to distort the transition narrative. <\/strong>The spike in bunker prices has narrowed \u2014 and in some ports eliminated \u2014 the cost gap between conventional and cleaner fuels. That flips a long-standing argument: the issue is no longer that green fuels are too expensive, but that fossil fuels are structurally volatile under geopolitical stress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The major anxiety: What happens if the Red Sea joins the closure trend?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Longer routes raise fuel demand, but regional bunker hubs may see demand dampen.<\/strong> \u201cThis will result in bunker ports such as West Africa, Port Louis, Salalah, amongst others, seeing a rise in bunker demand,\u201d Burgin told us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The system adapts, but at a cost:<\/strong> \u201cThe longer the disruption occurs, the more vessels amend their bunker lifting patterns as they adapt to secure fuel in ports that meet their requirements commercially and operationally,\u201d Burgin adds. That adjustment keeps the system moving, but pushes it toward longer routes, higher consumption, and a more fragmented fueling map.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Our take<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Demand is being reshuffled across the system<\/strong>, with some ports scaling supply while others are tightening. The longer disruptions persist, the more bunker hubs \u2014 reliant on Gulf-linked flows \u2014 will be forced to source from alternative markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\">\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/ports\/\">PORTS<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/shipping-maritime\/\">SHIPPING + MARITIME<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/the-big-story-today\/\">THE BIG STORY TODAY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/trade\/\">trade<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/uae\/\">UAE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"94361 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"94361\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/04\/02\/94361\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-94361\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-94361 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yanmuparks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2023\/12\/425.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"94362\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"94362\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Ports<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/04\/02\/mawani-doubles-down-on-jubail-under-pressure\/\">\r\n                            Mawani doubles down under pressure                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/04\/02\/mawani-doubles-down-on-jubail-under-pressure\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
