In 2023, the Netherlands led in fossil energy consumption for international maritime bunkers in Europe, recording minimal growth. Sweden and Latvia saw the most significant increases, while France and Germany experienced notable declines. Portugal and Denmark showed modest growth, whereas Finland and Bulgaria faced reductions. Romania's consumption surged by more than 14%, showcasing a unique rise. The overall trend highlights varied shifts, influenced by diverse maritime activities in these countries over recent years. Belgium, Italy, and other key players saw slight declines, reflecting broader European shifts towards alternative fuels or reduced maritime traffic.
Future trends to monitor include the impact of EU regulations on emissions, potential shifts towards greener maritime fuels, and technological advancements in ship efficiency. These factors will likely drive structural changes in the consumption patterns and total energy use amongst European countries in international maritime bunkering.
