Singapore's Sembcorp Marine hurt by coronavirus capex cuts by customers Sembcorp Marine has been hard hit by spending cuts due to the coronavirus pandemic and the collapse of oil prices, the Singapore-based company said Wednesday. Aframaxes in North Sea weigh their options amid subdued activity Aframax shipowners in the North Sea region are considering their options with freight rates weighed on by an absence of cargoes, market sources said. US DATA: EIA says Gulf Coast ULSD stocks draw for first time in a month Ultra low sulfur diesel stocks on the US Gulf Coast drew 254,000 barrels to 44.3 million barrels for the week ended May 8, Energy Information Administration data showed Wednesday. Surplus ULSD auctions scheduled for Thursday: Colonial Colonial Pipeline will hold two ULSD surplus auctions Thursday morning, the company said in a notice Wednesday. This marks the seventh and eighth surplus auctions they have had for ULSD this year. OIL FUTURES: Oil retreats as market eyes weakened US crude appetite Oil futures edged lower Wednesday as weakened US refinery demand overshadowed an unexpected draw in US crude supply last week. ARGENTINA DATA: Refinery capacity utilization falls to 70.8% in March Argentina's refinery utilization rate tumbled to 70.8% in March from 76.6% in the year-ago period, as the coronavirus pandemic-induced lockdown of the economy curbed demand for diesel and gasoline, government data showed Wednesday. Shipping line Maersk foresees up to 25% drop in Q2 volumes Danish container giant Maersk warned of a difficult period ahead, according to its first-quarter earnings report Wednesday, with a possible 20-25% decrease in freight volumes in Q2. Mediterranean diesel swaps hit 6-week high on refinery run cuts Mediterranean diesel paper values have risen to the highest level since the end of March amid refinery run cuts, particularly in the Mediterranean, and lower freight rates, market sources said Wednesday. Bunker price recovery unlikely to be as rapid as collapse: BIMCO Past crises and price shocks were a reminder that any price recovery in the bunkers market was unlikely to be as rapid as the collapse, while low prices held mixed implications for the shipping industry, international trade association BIMCO said Wednesday. SINGAPORE DATA: April bunker fuel sales fall 4.83% on month to 4.11 million mt Singapore's bunker fuel sales in April declined 4.83% on the month to 4.11 million mt, data from the city-state's Maritime and Port Authority showed Wednesday. New Orleans marine gasoil hits all-time low as coronavirus hurts demand Ex-wharf marine gasoil in New Orleans hit a record low Wednesday as bunker demand on the US Gulf Coast continues to be battered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising arbitrage volumes, limited outlets push 380 CST HSFO cash differentials to all-time lows A supply length and increasing volumes into Singapore from Europe over May and June have sent the Singapore 380 CST high sulfur fuel oil cash differentials crashing to all-time lows in recent days, showed S&P Global Platts data.
