Singapore Port's tighter COVID-19 checks seen having limited operational impact: sources The Maritime and Port Authority's tighter measures at the Port of Singapore to curb the spread of COVID-19 cases will likely have only a limited impact on bunkering operations, industry sources said May 11. India pandemic weighs on natural gas demand amid souring GDP outlook India's deadly COVID-19 outbreak and widening localized lockdowns have soured the country's economic growth outlook, stifled its natural gas demand and resulted in more LNG carriers being diverted by gas companies, an analysis by S&P Global Platts showed. Traded kerosene futures on TOCOM up 3% on month in April Traded kerosene futures on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange rose 3% month on month to 3,388 trades in April, latest data from TOCOM showed.

US crude draw likely extends as refinery demand pushes to 14-month high US crude oil inventory draws likely extended in the week ended May 7 amid an expected uptick in refinery demand, an S&P Global Platts analysis showed May 10. OIL FUTURES: RBOB, ULSD climb as market weighs impact of Colonial outage NYMEX refined product futures finished a volatile session slightly higher May 10 amid concerns that the shutdown of a key US pipeline could lead to supply disruptions. Colonial Pipeline outages spur clean freight jumps across Atlantic Basin The disruption of clean petroleum product flows on the Colonial Pipeline spurred a flurry of spot clean tanker activity on both sides of the Atlantic Basin in the week started May 10, though upward momentum was stifled in Europe as requirements slowed due to growing expectations of the pipeline restoring supply by the end of the week. Colonial attack highlights particular vulnerability of pipelines from cyber threats The successful cyberattack of the main artery of the US' fuel supply show how energy pipelines are acutely vulnerable in an underregulated sector with many remote field locations potentially exposed to attacks, cybersecurity experts said. Bunker Holding to offer bio-bunker fuel at Gothenburg, Skaw Bunker Holding will soon offer biofuel to ships bunkering in the Danish straits, the company said May 11. EPA issues emergency fuel waiver in states hit by Colonial Pipeline shutdown The Environmental Protection Agency issued a one-week emergency fuel waiver for select states impacted by the Colonial Pipeline closure that removes vapor pressure requirements for reformulated gasoline sold in areas of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington. Colonial pipeline outage highlights need for energy systems to be more cyber resilient: IEA The outage of a critical US oil pipeline from a cyberattack underscores the need for energy infrastructure to become "more cyber resilient," with digitalization and automation of energy systems increasing the scope for such attacks, the International Energy Agency said May 11. Idemitsu to launch Japan's first commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel supply in 2025 Idemitsu Kosan has become the latest Japanese company to pursue 2050 carbon neutrality, with plans that include starting the country's first commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel supply in 2025. US weighs Jones Act waivers to move fuel up East Coast during Colonial shutdown The Biden administration is considering a "temporary and targeted" waiver of the Jones Act to allow foreign-flagged vessels to carry petroleum products from the Gulf of Mexico up the Eastern seaboard, meeting supply shortages the Colonial Pipeline shutdown created. OIL FUTURES: Crude edges higher on weaker dollar, return of USGC refinery units Oil futures moved higher May 11 as US Gulf refiners brought units back online and the US dollar tested fresh 10-week lows. OIL FUTURES: Crude, refined product fall as short supply fears abate; mutant coronavirus strain "Refined product markets do not seem overly concerned about the disruption to the Colonial pipeline," ING said in a note. Colonial Pipeline expects to restore most services by end of week Colonial is being restored with segment-by-segment approach Only modest pricing impact so far HONG KONG DATA: March fuel oil imports up 0.3% on year to 4.1 mil barrels March imports up 38.9% from Feb Jan-March imports fall 11.2% to 10.1 mil barrels INTERVIEW: Fratelli Cosulich to play 'active role' in shipping's decarbonization Group orders first LNG bunkering ship to operate in Mediterranean Sea Singapore to continue to be vital bunker hub Vitol sidesteps setting emission reduction targets in first ESG report "Our ambition is to play an active role in delivering the energy transition," Vitol said. OPEC+ crude oil production rises in April, on surges from Iran, Russia: Platts survey The rising output is a preview of the wave of OPEC+ crude set to hit the market over the next few months. Japan's Fuji Oil aims to cut CO2 emissions 20% by fiscal 2030-31 The refiner will consider using ammonia as a boiler fuel among new means to decarbonize operations.
