After a month of rising fuel oil prices and tighter fundamentals due to bumper Chinese imports, the Singapore bunker market may now be at its short-term peak. Although avails are tight now and going into July, the situation could ease later this month if, as some believe, Chinese imports slow down. Rotterdam sharply higher Fuel shortages strike another Italian port Maritime organisations express concern about EU tanker proposals The Round Table of international maritime associations comments on EU proposals to amend Annex I of MARPOL 73/78, regarding the accelerated phasing out of single-hull tankers, the Condition Assessment Scheme and the ban on transporting heavy grades of oil in single- hulled tankers.
