Concerns over economic uncertainty after the UK's Brexit vote affected the financial performance of some of the biggest buyers of marine fuel in the cruise line industry yesterday.

Low-cost airline EasyJet stated that the fallout of Brexit may lead to 'additional economic and consumer uncertainty' this summer. A crucial time for cruise operators, the possibility of a period of uncertainty has triggered volatile trading sessions and share prices have been hit.

Companies affected included Carnival Corporation, the world's biggest cruise line operator, which is forecast to purchase over 3.2 million tonnes of bunker fuel this year.

Another leading cruise company, Royal Caribbean, was also hit. The company has bought around 1.4 million tonnes of marine fuel over the last 12 months.
