VIETNAM DATA: Aug gasoil imports hit 5-month low as COVID-19 mutes demand Vietnam's gasoil imports slipped to a five-month low in August as demand was battered by a second wave of COVID-19 infections that emerged in late July, latest data showed. US storms buoy Asian transport fuels amid shaky fundamentals The arrival of hurricane season in the US has injected some much needed fresh support for Asia's transportation fuels markets, as crack spreads and cash differentials receive a boost in light of persistently lagging fundamentals. Hyundai exports first hydrogen fuel cell system to Switzerland for non-car use South Korea's Hyundai Motor Co. has begun exporting its hydrogen fuel cell system to Switzerland's GRZ Technologies for non-automotive use, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said Sept. 16. VIETNAM DATA: August fuel oil imports rise 19% on month despite coronavirus resurgence Vietnam's fuel oil imports rose 19.29% month on month to 41,446 mt in August amid an increase in demand for peak summer power generation, but were still down 49% year on year amid the re-imposition of movement restrictions to contain a domestic resurgence in coronavirus infections, General Department of Customs data released Sept. 15 showed. Hapag Lloyd hikes container rates on Middle East, Pakistan to North Europe routes German carrier Hapag Lloyd will increase container rates from the Middle East and Pakistan to northern Europe from Oct. 1, the company said Sept. 15. Bunker sales in Panama rise in Aug with strong increase in high sulfur segment Bunker sales in Panama climbed for the second consecutive month in August, after a steep fall in June, with high sulfur IFO 380 fuel showing the strongest increase. CLEAN TANKER QUARTERLY: Owners prioritize USGC positioning ahead of Q4 Shipowners with Medium Range tankers in the Americas are focusing on keeping positions close to the US Gulf Coast basin for the beginning of the fourth quarter in hopes that seasonal strength typically experienced in October will reoccur, though effects of the coronavirus pandemic and petroleum product demand destruction make for uncertain times ahead. Curacao's RdK seizes 1.7 million barrels of PDVSA petroleum from Isla storage The Curacao company Refineria di Korsou, which owns the shuttered Isla Refinery on the Dutch Caribbean island, has seized 1.7 million barrels of crude oil and refined products stored by Venezuela's PDVSA there to secure payments of local outstanding debts, sources said Sept. 16. Container shortage in Asia may keep trans-Pacific rates elevated in October Container prices on the trans-Pacific route -- which have risen to record highs recently -- typically fall back in October when demand traditionally slows, but this year might be an exception as the shortage of containers in Asia is far from over and likely to persist in coming months, sources said. US watches Iranian fuel cargoes to Venezuela, keeps up pressure on other shippers US sanctions have deterred all but Iranian tankers from delivering gasoline to fuel-starved Venezuela, and the Trump administration will keep up pressure on the global shipping industry to avoid the trade, a top State Department official said Sept. 16. EC wants EU to cut CO2 emissions 'at least 55%' by 2030, use more hydrogen The European Commission wants the EU to cut its CO2 emissions by at least 55% on 1990 levels by 2030, up from the current 40%, in a move set to accelerate the switch away from fossil fuels, it said on Sept. 16. INTERVIEW: North Sea independents have vital energy transition role: Serica CEO The handover of North Sea oil and gas assets to small independent companies will contribute positively to the energy transition as the new owners focus on maximizing efficiency and reducing emissions, while being held to a higher standard than their predecessors, CEO Mitch Flegg told S&P Global Platts. Singapore 10 ppm gasoil/marine fuel 0.5%S spread at 4-month low amid strong LSFO The spread between Singapore 10 ppm sulfur gasoil and marine fuel 0.5%S narrowed to a four-month low Sept. 15 amid declining stocks of fuel oil coupled with weaker gasoil market. IMO 2020 marine fuel has heavier CO2 footprint than scrubbers: CE Delft The improvement in fuel quality that accompanies sulfur reduction in refineries means IMO 2020-compliant fuels generate more CO2 in their well-to-wake life cycle than burning high sulfur fuel oil alongside a scrubber, consultancy CE Delft said in a report. FUJAIRAH DATA: Stockpiles extend decline to almost five-month low Stockpiles of oil products at Fujairah in the UAE dropped for a third consecutive week to the lowest in almost five months, led by declines in marine bunkers and power fuels. More than 25% of US Gulf oil, gas production offline as Hurricane Sally makes landfall About 27% of US Gulf of Mexico offshore oil and 30% of natural gas output remained offline Sept. 16 after Hurricane Sally made landfall earlier in the day, according to the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. OIL FUTURES: NYMEX WTI surges 5% following US crude draw Crude prices settled sharply higher Sept. 16 after US Energy Information Administration data showed US crude inventory draws resumed during the week ended Sept. 11. European Parliament votes to include shipping in EU Emissions Trading System European shipowners pushed back Sept. 16 on a decision in the European Parliament to draft a proposal to include shipping under the EU's Emissions Trading System from 2022. EIA data shows US crude stocks fall amid refinery rebound, import decline US crude inventories declined in the week ended Sept. 14 as refinery demand rebounded following Hurricane Laura and imports flagged, US Energy Information Administration data showed Sept. 16. US crude exports slip on week as flows to Asia rebound; flows to Europe lowest since June US crude exports fell by 349,000 b/d to 2.595 million b/d for the week ended on Sept 11, as flows towards Asia jumped, while exports to Europe slid to a three-month-low, data from the US Energy Information Administration and data intelligence firm Kpler showed Sept.16.
