Once a week, bunker intelligence platform ENGINE will publish a snapshot of alternative and conventional bunker fuel prices in the world’s two biggest bunkering hubs. The following is the latest snapshot:
- Rotterdam B100 over $100/mt costlier than HSFO
- Rotterdam LBM discounts to LSMGO widen
- B100 premium over LSMGO drops to $39/mt in Singapore
Rotterdam B100’s premium over HSFO has widened by a further $35/mt to $103/mt over the past week.
On the other hand, its discounts to VLSFO and LSMGO have widened by $8/mt and $25/mt to $26/mt and $266/mt, respectively.
Singapore’s B100 has dropped slightly relative to conventional fuels. Its premiums over HSFO, VLSFO and LSMGO have narrowed by $16-25/mt over the past week to $39-408/mt.
LNG premiums over liquefied biomethane (LBM) in Rotterdam have widened by $15/mt to $440-447/mt.
Rotterdam’s LBM discounts to LSMGO have widened by $56-58/mt to $595-796/mt, depending on the engine type.
Liquid fuels
Rotterdam’s HSFO price has fallen by $41/mt over the past week. Its VLSFO has edged up by $2/mt, while its LSMGO price has increased by $19/mt.
The port’s B100 has edged down by $7/mt. Dutch ZRE A ticket prices have remained unchanged for a third consecutive week amid a “lack of reported trades,” Prima Markets has noted.
Singapore’s conventional fuel prices have declined by $36-45/mt over the past week, while its B100 benchmark has fallen by a larger $61/mt
The port’s monthly B100 sales doubled from 6,500 mt in April to 13,000 mt in May, according to preliminary data from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.
Liquid gases
Rotterdam’s LNG prices have declined by $23-24/mt in the past week, driven largely by a 7% decline in LNG bunker premiums, which dropped from $134/mt to $125/mt. The front-month Dutch TTF Natural Gas contract has fallen by 2%, adding further downward pressure to LNG bunker prices.
Rotterdam’s LBM prices have fallen by $37-39/mt.
Singapore’s LNG prices have edged up by $8-9/mt. Resurging tensions in the Middle East, a Qatari gas facility explosion and rising LNG demand in Asia have added upward pressure on the prices.
LNG sales in Singapore jumped from 42,000 mt in April to a record 70,000 mt in May.
