GAC BUNKER FUELS Limited has started offering customers a new pricing and market information platform accessible over the Internet to provide data on a daily basis and facilitate fast and informed fuel procurement decisions.

This new interactive service, which allows shipowners and operators to design their own customised daily pricing page, is available at http://www.gac.com/bunkerfuels .

The service provides historical data, allowing users to track and analyse market trends. In addition, GAC's website hosts ship agency details, information on specific ports and weather routing data in order to give its customers market intelligence to make efficient and cost-effective bunker purchasing and operational decisions.

The company is also launching a weekly market intelligence bulletin that will provide insight and information from across the group, including port congestion updates and bunker availability.

"The process of procuring the right bunker fuel at the right time, in the right place and at the right price can be highly complicated, particularly in a volatile market where prices continue to fluctuate amid rising trends," said the GAC statement.
