Singapore 0.5% marine fuel suppliers seek finished grade amid lack of blending space Singapore 0.5% marine fuel suppliers and traders have been looking to secure finished grade end-user product due to a lack of available tank space for blending components to make IMO-complaint marine fuel as falling demand leads to a build in inventories, traders said Monday. High inventories limit stockpiling LSFO in Singapore amid contango market High inventories of low sulfur fuel oil in Singapore and a lack of ullage were restricting traders trying to store more fuel oil amid a contango market structure, sources said Monday. Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan ports to strengthen partnership Shanghai International Port Group Co. Ltd has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Ningbo-Zhoushan Port Co. Ltd, the port operators said late last week. No 2020 VLSFO supply crunch expected due to COVID-19: Alphatanker This year is unlikely to see any supply crunch in the very low sulfur fuel oil market because of the unexpected demand destruction caused by the coronavirus pandemic, according to analysts from tanker market intelligence company Alphatanker. Crude oil contango gives boost to dirty tanker rates Market players in the dirty tanker sector are eying floating storage amid an oversupply of crude oil and widespread demand destruction due to the coronavirus, giving freight rates a lift, according to market sources. European naphtha at rare discount to propane on lack of demand Demand for naphtha in Europe as a petrochemical feedstock has been very bearish amid the coronavirus pandemic and wider oil market collapse, leading to it flipping to a discount to competing feedstock propane for the first time since 2017. OIL FUTURES: RBOB rallies as more refiners cut runs, but crude slides on dimming demand outlooks RBOB futures climbed higher Monday against the rest of the oil complex as more refiners cut runs amid a sharp downturn in gasoline demand due to the proliferation of stay-at-home orders aimed at slowing the COVID-19 pandemic.
