Once a week, bunker intelligence platform ENGINE will publish a snapshot of biofuel bunker prices in the world’s two biggest bunkering hubs. The following is the latest snapshot:
- B30-VLSFO prices post significant gains in past week
- Biofuel blend deliveries may take around 10 days in ARA and Gibraltar
- Singapore’s January bio-bunker sales decline
ARA and Gibraltar
Rotterdam’s B30-VLSFO (POMEME) price and Antwerp’s B30-VLSFO (UCOME) price has gained over the last week.
Rotterdam’s conventional VLSFO price has increased $34/mt during the last week, while Antwerp’s VLSFO price has increased $29/mt. These rises may have supported the rise in the B30-VLSFO prices.
The Prima Markets-assessed ARA POMOME and UCOME barge prices have inched just $4/mt higher over the same period.
Antwerp’s blend price now holds a $54/mt premium over Rotterdam, narrowing from a $67/mt premium seen last week.
Biofuel deliveries in the ARA may take around 7-10 days of lead time, a trader said.
Gibraltar’s B30-VLSFO price has increased $36/mt over the last week. Congestion caused at the port due to rough weather over the past few weeks has now cleared, port agent MH Bland said.
Supplies of B30-VLSFO blend in the port may take around 10 days of lead time, a trader told ENGINE.
Singapore and Fujairah
Singapore B30-VLSFO price has also gained $48/mt over the last week, its price premium over the port’s conventional VLSFO has gained by $12/mt over the same period.
Prima-assessed UCOME China barge prices, which are closely related to Singapore’s blend prices, have remained unchanged over the same period.
Fujairah’s B30-VLSFO price has gained by $39/mt over the same period, Its premium over Singapore’s blend price has decreased $9/mt over the last week.
Separately, Singapore’s bio-blended bunker sales declined 34% to 60,000 mt in January, data from the Maritime Port Authority said this week.
