Containership giant Maersk Line will seek to recover the costs of low-sulphur fuel compliance from its customers.

The Danish company said a new bunker adjustment surcharge factor (BAF) is being adopted ahead of new IMO rules coming into force in 2020.

We fully support the new rules. They will be a significant benefit to the environment and to human health,” said Vincent Clerc, chief commercial officer of parent AP Moller-Maersk.
