Hamburg Port Authority eyes growing use of LNG as bunker fuel "LNG is playing an increasingly important role as a low-emission fuel in the cruise industry, as well as for container ships. That's also becoming increasingly tangible at the port of Hamburg," the CEO of Hamburg Port Authority, Jens Meier, said in a statement. Singapore 180/380 CST HSFO spread widens to 3-month high on strong 180 CST demand The strong demand for 180 CST high sulfur fuel oil for power generation has widened the spread between FOB Singapore 180 CST HSFO and 380 CST HSFO, otherwise known as the viscosity spread, to a three-month high of $15.40/mt on June 10, fuel oil traders in Singapore said. Japan marine fuel 0.5% differentials in discounts in June; market seen bottoming The delivered Tokyo Bay marine fuel 0.5%S differential to Singapore 10 ppm gasoil cargo assessments has remained in discounts so far in June, averaging minus 53 cents/mt over June 1-10, compared with a premium of $7.56/mt over May 20-29 and a monthly average of $21.41/mt in May, S&P Global Platts data showed, as weak demand coupled with ample supply weighed on the market this month.
