Q1 SHIPPING, DRY BULK: Improved ECSA demand heralds positional Q2 The Atlantic Supramax dry freight market looks set for diverse returns over the second quarter, with vast demand for grains freight from the east coast of South America, but unbalanced fundamentals along the temperamental US Gulf Coast and in the Black Sea. Traded Rotterdam HSFO barge volumes in March low on logistical constraints, closed arb Volumes traded in the Platts Market on Close assessment process for 3.5% fuel oil FOB Rotterdam barges in March moved to just 302,000 mt due to logistical delays in the Dutch port, a backwardated structure and a closed arbitrage east. ANALYSIS: S Korea's crude imports from the US could surpass 40 mil barrels in H1 2019 Eagle Ford quality issue unlikely to deter regular monthly procurement South Korea will likely maintain its voracious appetite for US crude oil with at least 40 million barrels expected to reach the Asian consumer over the first half of 2019, as the import cost for lighter and sweeter North American grades have flipped to a discount against heavier Saudi grades. New Brazilian crude grade trickles into China amid Venezuela sanctions Brazil's new grade of medium heavy crude oil, known as Buzios, is making inroads into the Chinese refining sector despite quality issues, helped by US sanctions that have curbed the supply of competing grades from Venezuela.

IMO 2020: Singapore's MPA to publish compliant fuels list by June The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore Tuesday said it will publish a list of compliant marine fuels and also update its technical guidelines for bunkers by June to ensure a smooth transition to the new low-sulfur, maritime-fuel regime from 2020.
