Shipping

 

We understand shipping intimately. We are part of a worldwide shipping group actively engaged in the worldwide supply of fuel to the shipping market. You could say shipping is part of our corporate DNA.

 

Up to 60% of shipping costs are fuel-related

The most volatile and unpredictable entry in marine accounts is fuel expense. Fuel price changes can have major effects on your cash flow and overall financial performance.

 

Passing on the cost of fuel price volatility to your customers - if and when possible - blunts your competitive edge in the highly-competitive shipping market.

 

Protect your margins

You need to do everything you possibly can to alleviate the cost pressure. Managing your exposure to fuel price risk is a vital part of that battle.

 

It requires an in-depth knowledge of the complexities of the oil and financial markets, as well as state-of-the-art access to pertinent information. 

 

Retain your competitive edge

Global can share oil market and financial expertise to help give you that understanding. With our help, you can put in place suitable levels of protection and retain your competitive edge. 

 

We provide customised hedging solutions to shipping lines worldwide, as well as to smaller regional and domestic players. We have time for you, no matter what the size of your enterprise may be
