With the amount of optimization that goes around the bunker industry and fueling shipping tankers, I’d would be extremely interesting to see how electrification plays into this. Right now you have such fun cases as a Bunker company selling fuel cheaper than it bought it yet still making money through discrepencies in volume/weight measures, and by pumping gas or loading gravel into the fuel, and of cause you have such things like false headings on fuel tankers to drive down local prices prior to fueling, with headings then reverting. A lot of thise optimizations are a sort of cool hyperoptimization that only make sense because of the scale of things. I wonder if electrification, likely through subsidies, would suddenly mean we’d see the tanker industry “weaponizing” weather models to predict which ports can provide cheap wind or solar energy. Or aggressively pushing the battery stacks because even a 0.01% margin is suddenly very attractive.
