Frequently Asked Questions

Some questions commonly asked by our current and prospective customers.
How does ENGINE do price benchmarking?

Price benchmarking is automated and does not require any additional input from the user. Transactions are submitted into benchmarking upon booking the fuel and can be exluded from benchmarking by the user. Fuel prices are compared with the ENGINE bunker price benchmark at the time of receiving supplier quotes and the combined differences are displayed to indicate the amount of savings or overpayments to the user. Our platform allows the user to have a detailed view of buying performance by port and fuel grade.

Are additional costs included in benchmarking?

ENGINE benchmarking is run on the ex-wharf basis for ports with ex-wharf prices. It is however possible to include service or brokerage fees for a more accurate comparison.

Why is bunker procurement benchmarking important?

Benchmarking allows customers to identify how their procurement relates to the wider market that the ENGINE price benchmark is based on. Customers buying smaller fuel quantities at short notice are more likely to underperform against the benchmark, driven by operational and vessel size constraints. Likewise, customers buying larger quantities may consistently outperform the benchmark. In either case, the customer benefits from monitoring the direction of their performance and any deviation from the 'norm'.
