The following article regarding bunker fuel availability in the Americas region has been provided by online marine fuel procurement platform ENGINE for post on Singapore bunkering publication Manifold Times:

• Strong demand in New York
• HSFO tight in Panama
• Brazil bunker supply steady

North America

Bunker demand in Houston has been good this week, and fuel availability at the port is decent, a trader has told ENGINE. Recommended lead times for VLSFO, LSMGO and HSFO are between 5-7 days.

In the Galveston Offshore Lightering Area (GOLA), bunker deliveries continue without any major weather-related disruptions.

Deliveries are being carried out on a first-come, first-served basis, and remain subject to prevailing weather conditions.

Lead times range between 5-8 days, depending on the size of the inquiry, a trader tells ENGINE

Sea fog is not expected to cause significant disruptions across major US Gulf ports over the coming week.

However, periods of moderate visibility are forecast in parts of the region, including Galveston, Port Arthur, Lake Charles, New Orleans, Venice, Mobile Bay and Tampa.

On the US East Coast, bunker demand in New York has been strong this week, with increased enquiries, a source said.

VLSFO and LSMGO can be delivered within recommended lead times of 3-5 days, while HSFO requires up to 8 days of lead time.

High wind gusts are forecast in New York between 2-5 July, where suppliers may require standby tugs during bunkering operations.

On the West Coast, bunker demand has been normal in Los Angeles and Long Beach. Recommended lead times for VLSFO, LSMGO and HSFO are between 7-8 days.

Latin America and the Caribbean

In Panama, HSFO availability has been tight this week and is subject to enquiry. VLSFO and LSMGO availability is good and can be delivered within 3-4 days.

In Colombia, bunker fuel availability has been steady this week, with recommended lead times of around 3-5 days for VLSFO and LSMGO.

Demand has been normal, and suppliers have reported no major operational constraints.

High winds and rough seas could disrupt offshore bunkering operations off Trinidad until 5 July, potentially causing delivery delays.

Buyers are advised to expect longer lead times for deliveries, a source said.

In Brazil, VLSFO and LSMGO availability has been good across the main bunkering ports of Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Paranaguá, Rio Grande and Belém/Vila do Conde.

Recommended lead times for both grades are between 5-8 days. HSFO is no longer available in Brazil.

Petrobras is scheduled to carry out maintenance at its Itaqui terminal. During this, sales of VLSFO and MGO will be temporarily suspended.

The work is not expected to impact bunker availability at Brazil’s other ports, a trader tells ENGINE.

In Argentina’s Zona Comun anchorage, VLSFO and LSMGO availability has been good, with recommended lead times of 6-8 days.

High wind gusts are also forecast in Zona Comun on 2 July, where bunkering operations could be suspended if wind speeds exceed 20 knots.

The following article regarding Europe and Africa bunker fuel availability has been provided by online marine fuel procurement platform ENGINE for post on Singapore bunkering publication Manifold Times:

• Prompt fuel availability is tight in the Gibraltar Strait ports
• Rough seas disrupt bunkering in Las Palmas
• Lead times of 5-6 days recommended in Angola’s Luanda

Northwest Europe

Bunker fuel availability is very tight for prompt delivery dates in the ARA, with buyers recommended to book HSFO and VLSFO stems around seven days in advance to avoid high premiums, while LSMGO supplies may take around five days, a trader told ENGINE.

The ARA’s independently held fuel oil stocks have averaged around 8% higher in the penultimate week of June, compared to May, according to Insights Global data.

Fuel oil stocks in the ARA hub have gained slightly from May’s inventory levels, which were the lowest seen in more than a decade.

The ARA hub has imported 247,000 b/d of fuel oil in June, slightly higher than May’s monthly average of 230,000 b/d, according to Vortexa’s cargo data. Most of June’s shipments have come from Syria (16%), Venezuela (15%) and UK (12%).

The region’s independent gasoil inventories – which include diesel and heating oil – have dropped 1% in June compared to May. Gasoil inventories are at their lowest level in around two and a half years.

The ARA hub imported 178,000 b/d of gasoil in June, down from 204,000 b/d imported in May, Vortexa data showed. June’s shipments have come mainly from the U.S (32%), the U.K (19%) and Lithuania (9%).

Marine fuels supply is stable in Germany’s Hamburg, and any fuel grade stem can be secured with a notice of around five days, a trader told ENGINE.

Buyers off Denmark’s Skaw and in Sweden’s Gothenburg are advised to book around 10 days ahead for any fuel grade, according to a trader.

Mediterranean

Bunker availability remains very tight for prompt delivery dates in Gibraltar, Algeciras and Ceuta, with buyers recommended to book around 10 days ahead to get good coverage from suppliers, a trader said.

Rough winds of around 25 knots are forecast in the area between 3-4 July, which may complicate bunkering in the Gibraltar Strait ports.

Rough seas, with swells between 1.5-2 metres high, are forecast in the area between 1-3 July. Bunkering operations have been currently suspended, except for those vessels berthed alongside and those anchored within the breakwaters, port agent MH Bland said.

Fuel availability is reportedly tight for prompt delivery dates in the Canary Islands bunkering hub, a trader told ENGINE. Buyers are usually recommended lead times between 7-10 days for delivery of any fuel grade.

Off Malta, VLSFO availability is tight in the past week, with deliveries possible around 5-7 days out, a trader said. LSMGO availability is relatively better, the trader said.

In Greek’s Piraeus, fuel availability has tightened for all fuel grades, with buyers advised to book stems around seven days ahead, a trader told ENGINE.

Availability of fuel oil grades like VLSFO and ULSFO are tight in Turkey’s Istanbul, while LSMGO supply is stable, a local supplier told ENGINE.

Africa

In Togo’s Lome, buyers are advised to book VLSFO and LSMGO stems around 10 days in advance, a trader said.

In Nigeria’s Lagos, VLSFO supplies require lead times of around 5-7 days, a local supplier told ENGINE.
