Bunker fuel availability tightens at Rotterdam: sources Availability of bunker fuel at the Dutch bunkering hub of Rotterdam has become limited, market sources have said. Singapore 10 ppm gasoil/marine fuel 0.5%S spread at 15-week low amid rising gasoil supply The spread between Singapore 10 ppm sulfur gasoil and marine fuel 0.5%S narrowed to a 15-week low Sept. 2 amid rising supply and deteriorating demand for gasoil. TENDER DATA: Taiwan's Formosa sells 40,000 mt 180 CST HSFO for Sept. 19-21 The company last sold 40,000 mt of bunker-grade 180 CST fuel oil with maximum 3.5% sulfur via a tender for loading over Aug. 10-12 from Mailiao, at a single-digit discount to MOPS 180 CST HSFO assessments, to Gunvor, market sources said. Fujairah Sept ex-wharf marine fuel term talks muted amid oversupply: trade There are still no clear price indications for Fujairah ex-wharf term 0.5% sulfur marine fuel price for September, as traders struggle to clear their existing inventories amid ample supply, sources said Sept. 3. Demand for HSFO at Singapore rising as more scrubbers fitted Singapore has seen a rise in demand for high sulfur bunker fuel of late from the growing number of ships that have completed scrubber installations, given the limited availability of the grade at smaller ports, market sources said. China's rising fuel oil exports narrow Zhoushan-Singapore marine fuel 0.5%S price spread An increase in Chinese fuel oil exports for bonded bunkering since a tax rebate that came into effect Feb. 1 has narrowed the marine fuel 0.5%S price spread between Zhoushan and Singapore. VLSFO availability still in flux as market adapts to IMO 2020: bunker suppliers The availability of 0.5%S fuel oil or VLSFO is seeing ongoing changes across the world as the supply-side of the bunker industry continues to adapt to the new IMO 2020 landscape, according to bunker suppliers. REFINERY NEWS: Greece's MOH reports lower H1 throughput on Q1 maintenance Greece's Motor Oil Hellas said that its Corinth refinery processed 4.042 million mt of crude oil in the first half of 2020, down from 4.696 million mt in the year ago period, mostly due to the scheduled maintenance in January and February. ARA diesel, gasoil stocks drop 5.7% on week to 2.513 mil mt: Insights Global Diesel and gasoil inventories in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp trading hub fell 5.7% week on week to 2.513 million mt as of Sept. 2, Insights Global data released Sept. 3 showed. OIL FUTURES: Oil edges lower but buoyed by faltering US dollar Oil futures settled slightly lower Sept. 3 as the market searched for direction amid uncertain demand outlooks and a sharp decline in equities.
