Market Intelligence

Information That
Drives Decisions.

We provide the market intelligence our clients need to make informed procurement decisions, from price monitoring and port intelligence to regulatory tracking and supplier performance data.

Our Approach

Intelligence embedded in every transaction.

Market intelligence is not a separate service at 55 North. it is embedded in how we operate. Our trading desk continuously monitors market conditions, supply constraints, and regulatory developments so that every procurement decision is informed by current, accurate data.

Capabilities

What we monitor and track.

Bunker Price Monitoring

Continuous monitoring of bunker prices across major global hubs. We track VLSFO, MGO, and HSFO price movements and provide clients with timely market updates to support procurement timing decisions.

Port & Supply Intelligence

Real-time visibility into port congestion, barge availability, and supply constraints at key bunkering locations. We identify potential delivery risks before they become operational problems.

Market Trend Analysis

Analysis of crude oil markets, refinery margins, and demand trends that drive bunker price movements. We translate macro market signals into actionable procurement intelligence.

Regulatory Intelligence

Tracking of IMO regulations, EU ETS developments, CII requirements, and port-specific compliance obligations. We help clients understand the regulatory landscape and its impact on fuel procurement strategy.

Price Alerts & Notifications

Customised price alert services for clients with defined procurement windows. We notify clients when market conditions align with their target pricing parameters.

Supplier & Quality Intelligence

Ongoing monitoring of supplier performance, quality records, and delivery reliability across our network. We use this intelligence to continuously refine our supplier qualification process.

Technology

Smart. Seamless. Connected.

Our technology infrastructure supports real-time market data aggregation, automated price monitoring, and seamless communication between our trading desk and clients. We invest in technology that enhances our team's capabilities. not technology for its own sake.

Clients benefit from faster response times, more accurate pricing, and better visibility into market conditions. all delivered through the same accountable counterparty relationship.
