Show Notes
Africas bunkering hubs are booming as ship refueling companies along the coast see a surge in business due to rerouted cargo vessels avoiding Middle East dangers. Major carriers like Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd are sending ships the long way south, opening up new refueling spots and increasing bunkering volumes by 112% in early March. Established players and newcomers are expanding operations, with Ghanas Misa Energy expecting volumes to triple over the next decade. However, challenges such as piracy threats, supply shortages, port congestion, and high taxes could slow growth. Despite these hurdles, Africas bunkering hubs are poised to play a bigger role in global shipping for years to come.
