COP26: Price spikes bolster North Sea industry's case for enduring role UK oil output has fallen by 60% since 2000 and Norwegian and Danish output by 45% and 80% respectively over the same period, while the UK has gone from being able to meet all its own gas needs to covering barely 50% from indigenous sources. Container line Hapag-Lloyd's bunker costs rise in Q1-Q3, supply chains under pressure Platts assessments of Rotterdam barge swaps for 0.5% sulfur fuel oil, the prevalent bunker fuel, show a backwardated market structure. EU Emission Allowances surpass Eur62/mt resistance level in Week 45 According to S&P Global Platts Analytics, EU Emission Allowances prices are expected to remain supported until the end of Q1 2022. SPAIN DATA: Refinery throughput up 14% in Q3 Total throughput for the country's refineries was 15.9 million mt, up 15% year on year, meaning an operating rate of approximately 85% in the quarter for the country's nine operating refineries. OIL FUTURES: Crude prices retreat on OPEC demand outlook, US uncertainty There are concerns that, if OPEC continues with its plan to step up production in 2022 as previously agreed, the market will be oversupplied, even if member countries continue to fall short of their production quotas. RUSSIA DATA: Jan-Oct throughput at sea ports up 2% on year There are signs that oil throughput could rise as Russian production is increasing as the OPEC+ producer group eases its output quotas in response to demand increases on the back of vaccine rollouts and governments easing lockdowns. RUSSIA DATA: January-September oil product exports rise 2.7% on year Russia exports diesel, fuel oil and jet fuel to international markets, and recently started exporting gasoline to Northwest Europe for onward shipment to Africa and the Americas. Vopak expects recovery in 2022 after falling occupancy in Q3 on pinched oil supply Vopak is repurposing existing infrastructure for fuel oil to make way for lighter fuels. The company plans to invest in a conversion from fuel oil to clean petroleum at its Los Angeles terminal in the US. Global mobility wobbles after hitting fresh post-COVID high The figures, a key barometer for gasoline, diesel and jet demand, were dragged down by the impact of major national holidays in Brazil, Mexico, India, Japan, Russia and in most of Europe's biggest economies. ARA fuel oil stocks up 5.2% on week: Insights Global European fuel oil traders attributed this divergence between high sulfur and low sulfur grades to a relative weakness in the high sulfur market, caused primarily by a drop in import demand from Asian utilities. BUNKERWORLD INDEX: VLSFO rises as crude supply concerns weigh on varying marine markets More VLSFO to be available at Zhoushan Congestion expected at Malta following closure Stable demand in Latin America FACTBOX: COP26 declarations abound but commitments still falling short of Paris Agreement Over 20 countries including the US, Japan, Australia and Canada signed the Clydebank Declaration during COP26 to develop at least six green shipping corridors between two or more ports by 2025 and "many more" by 2030. Scorpio Tankers says scrubbers to bring higher earnings on widening bunker spread The spread between HSFO and VLSFO, which has increased on the back of multi-year high bunker prices in October, is expected to widen going further into the fourth quarter and 2022, management said. SINGAPORE DATA: Residue stocks reverse five straight weekly increases to fall 2.6% The decrease in stock levels came despite a 16% increase in fuel oil import volumes over the same period to 936,520 mt, fueled by weekly increases from the Americas and the Middle East. China's additional bunker fuel quota to weigh on Zhoushan prices: sources China's Ministry of Commerce on Nov. 10 allocated an additional 1 million mt of quotas to Sinopec, PetroChina and CNOOC to export their domestically produced bunker fuel oil for bonded bunkering at China's ports in 2021. South Korea's western ports resume bunkering operations as weather improves** Bunkering operations were suspended on Nov. 10 due to strong winds.
