Fuel Oil
Hedge your volatile fuel oil prices for a stable budget
Fuel oil, often used in maritime applications, is derived from the heavier remnants of the oil refining process, known as intermediate or residual fuel oil. As a critical energy source, especially in marine propulsion, fuel oil carries inherent risks due to its sulphur content and environmental impact requirements.
With widespread use in ocean-going vessels, fuel oil prices are influenced by supply and demand shifts, regulatory changes, and geopolitical factors, making them highly variable. This unpredictability poses a challenge for both suppliers and consumers, increasing the need for structured risk management solutions to ensure budget stability.
Whether supporting a fleet of vessels or supplying large volumes of fuel oil, GRM offers extensive experience in crafting custom hedging strategies that consider your operational needs and the complex regulatory landscape.

Hedging is a plan for financial stability
Beyond standard futures, customised hedging approaches offer a precise way to mitigate the risks associated with volatile fuel oil prices. Through hedging, companies can establish financial positions that protect against potential price hikes in the fuel oil market. For instance, if a fleet operator anticipates a rise in fuel oil prices, entering into a financial arrangement to benefit from such increases can effectively neutralise this risk, safeguarding the financial predictability essential to ongoing operations.
