Intertanko's Worldscale Committee met with Worldscale Association Ltd.'s Management Committee on Nov. 10. The large discrepancy between the current actual bunker prices and the bunker price assumption upon which the Worldscale Schedule's 2000 edition will be based was the major issue at the meeting. The bunker price to be used in the 2000 edition has been assessed at USD 86.50 per ton, that being the average price during the period of Oct. 1, 1998 through Sept. 30, 1999. Bunker prices have fluctuated widely during the 12-month period under review. For a long while they were in the $50-$60 region, whereas current bunker prices are closer to $150.
