Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) will be updated and effective April 2025
Höegh Autoliners is introducing an updated Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) effective April 2025. This enhanced BAF ensures greater adaptability to future fuel requirements while maintaining transparency and predictability.
The revised BAF retains its core function of adjusting for fuel price fluctuations. As liquefied natural gas (LNG) becomes an industry standard for new builds, we are now incorporating LNG as a component in the fuel mix. This is a small but crucial step toward integrating alternative fuels, aligning with evolving regulatory requirements and the industry’s long-term carbon reduction goals. All other parameters of the BAF remain unchanged, ensuring continuity for our customers. Over time, additional fuel types may be included to support the transition to lower-emission shipping solutions.
This transition is supported by our investment in the Aurora Class vessels, four of which have been delivered and eight more on order. The Aurora Class features multi-fuel capability, allowing us to offer our customers market-leading sustainable solutions.
For customers with ambitious decarbonisation targets, we continue offering tailor-made fuel solutions to reduce carbon footprint across our global trade network.

Guide to shipping heavy equipment
Shipping heavy equipment brings several unique logistical challenges. Items such as agricultural machinery or construction equipment are not only large and heavy but rarely break down into smaller components. This makes the loading, transportation, and unloading a lot more complex, introducing potential safety concerns and costly handling procedures. To add to the complexities, heavy equipment shipping overseas is most commonly required for projects, which are often tied to strict deadlines and timelines. Therefore, it usually needs to reach its final destination on time, while any delays could introduce significant costs too.
