Bunker fuel market can be categorized on the basis of fuel grades as marine gas oil or marine diesel oil (MGO/MDO), intermediate fuel oil (IFO) 380, IFO 500, low sulfur (LS) 380, IFO 180, LS 180 and IFO 700. IFO 380 and IFO 180 are the most preferred fuel grades among the fuel grade categories, owing to the cheaper cost of IFO 380 and IFO 180 as compared to other fuel grades. IFO 380 is expected to grow at a significant rate in coming years because most of the ship engines are capable of combusting IFO 380 fuel grade. As emission control areas (ECAs) are expanding, the demand for MDO and MGO is expected to increase in the coming years.

On the basis of seller of bunker fuels, the bunker fuel market can be categorized as leading independent distributors, major oil companies and small independent distributors.
