OIL PRODUCTS
Sales of marine fuel at Singapore rose to a nine-month high in October, led by an increase in container throughput and vessel calls for bunkering, according to the Port Authority, cited by Reuters.
- Bunker sales totalled 4.88m mt in October, up both 11% on the month and on the year.
- Volumes for VLSFO totalled 2.51m mt in October, up 11% on the month, as spot demand picked up due to weaker bunker premiums.
- HSFO volumes jumped to multi-year highs of 1.8m mt as more ships with scrubbers came online.
- Some buyers also capitalized on a wider hi-5 spread.
- LNG bunkering volumes also climbed, up 37% on the month to 50.6k mt.
