Bunker Adjustment Factor

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Bunker Adjustment Factor
An increase in a shipping rate as the result of increased oil prices. Because higher oil prices add to expenses, a shipper may set a bunker adjustment factor so as not to reduce profits. Each shipping company sets its own bunker adjustment factor; regulators monitor BAFs so collusion does not take place.
