\t\tBunker demand fell 4.2% to 10.8 million mt in 2025<\/p>\n

\t\tAverage bunker price in 2025 was $539\/mt vs $613\/mt in 2024<\/p>\n

\t\tSpent around $316 million for EU ETS compliance<\/p>\n

\n\tShipping company AP Moller Maersk reported lower bunker fuel consumption in 2025 as operational optimisation and efficiency measures reduced overall demand.<\/p>\n

\n\tMaersk’s fleet consumed 10.8 million mt of bunker fuels in 2025, down by 4.2% from 11.3 million mt in 2024, the firm said in its annual report 2025, released on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe company bunkered 2.6 million mt of bunker fuels in Q4 2025, down from 2.8 million mt bunkered a year earlier.<\/p>\n

\n\tMaersk is one of the world’s largest consumers of bunker fuel.<\/p>\n

\n\tTotal bunker expenditure fell to about $6.13 billion in 2025 from $7.01 billion the previous year, primarily reflecting a lower average bunker price. Maersk’s average bunker price was $539\/mt in 2025, compared with $613\/mt in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe firm consumed 35.4 g of marine fuel per TEU per nautical mile in 2025, down from 37.3 g\/TEU*NM a year earlier, reflecting a 6.1% improvement in fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n

\n\tMaersk spent a total of $316 million complying with the EU’s emissions trading system (ETS)<\/a>\u00a0in 2025, up from $161 million a year earlier.<\/p>\n

\n\tShipping’s inclusion in the EU ETS required companies to cover 70% of verified emissions for 2025, up from 40% in 2024. The system moves to 100% coverage from 2026, pointing to higher compliance costs ahead.<\/p>\n

\n\tMaersk posted a EBIT of $3.5 billion in 2025, down from $6.5 billion a year ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe company expects six more dual-fuel vessels to enter its fleet this year.<\/p>\n

\n\t“During 2025, we took delivery of 10 dual-fuel vessels, bringing our total fleet to 19, with six more vessels scheduled for delivery in 2026,” it said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
