Bunker demand at Malta rises on Greek holiday Bunker demand at Malta firmed Thursday as ships that would have bunkered at Piraeus, Greece, diverted to Malta, sources said. European fuel oil market weakens as oversupply bites The European HSFO market suffered from a surplus of product in the first quarter of 2018, a situation expected to drag into Q2 due to slack bunker demand in both Europe and Asia, as a lack of Middle East power generation outlets weighs on the market. Demand for winter-spec marine gasoil in ARA persists, despite official switch to summer Bunker demand for winter-grade specification marine gasoil in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp hub has persisted over the past week, despite the switch to summer spec on April 1, as below-average temperatures in the region lingered, sources said. Freight outlook bearish amid persistent fleet oversupply Freight rates for VLCCs traveling from West Africa to China fell close to a 15-year low in early March and the VLCC route from West Africa to China, basis 260,000 mt, was assessed at $8.08/mt on March 7, the lowest since September 2003, when it was assessed at $7.80/mt, S&P Global Platts data showed. New US sanctions on Venezuela not expected at Lima summit: White House The US plans to keep increasing pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro over the next several months, but President Donald Trump will not be announcing new sanctions during his trip next week to the Summit of the Americas in Lima, Peru, a White House official said Thursday. April VLCC HSFO fixtures from NWE East drop on overloaded Singapore The movement of European fuel oil to Asia has dwindled in April on a closed arbitrage, a well supplied Singapore market and an increase in VLCC freight rates, traders said. Saudi Aramco says refinery, shipping activities normal after Tue, Wed attacks Saudi Arabian refinery and shipping activity were normal Thursday after a missile attack on the refinery was intercepted and an attack on an oil tanker in the Red Sea was foiled earlier this week. ANALYSIS: Less Colonial Pipeline distillate demand shows shift to seasonality "I think it's likely to stay unallocated through the summer," a ULSD source said. Yemen conflict risks spilling into oil sector "We continue to see Yemen as the most dangerous confrontation for the oil market as it is the one that could be the tripwire for a direct confrontation between Saudi Arabia and Iran," head of commodity strategy at RBC said. US 'very concerned' after Saudi oil tanker attack in Red Sea: White House The attack coincides with the UN's High-Level Pledging Event in Geneva, where a Saudi-led coalition contributed $930 million. China to cut VAT by 1 percentage point across sectors, effective May 1 Most goods in the oil sector -- including crude oil, gasoline, gasoil, naphtha, jet fuel and fuel oil -- will see VAT decline to 16%, from 17% currently.
