Abstract

This project focuses on the impacts of fuel price volatility and its distribution throughout the supply chain, with the goal of stabilization. Hedging and fuel surcharges are analyzed as tools for stability, with research including: a market benchmarking survey, fuel surcharge component sensitivity testing and a simulation of varying derivative coverage lengths.
