Gard Club: Bunker claims surge 50% as fuel quality risks grow
Between January and May 2026, Gard recorded more than 70 bunker-related claims, marking a 50% increase compared with the same period last year.
The increase highlights a growing trend in both the number and complexity of bunker-related incidents. As highlighted in the “Beyond Specification: Bunker Claims Insights in early 2026” report from Gard, data from the first five months of 2026 shows a notable rise in claims between January and February and the period from March to May, coinciding with increased regional uncertainty and pressure across global fuel supply chains.
