Storm Halts Bunkering at Hong Kong
Monday September 17, 2018
Typhoon Mangkhut has seen bunkering operations at the port of Hong Kong temporarily suspended.
As of Monday, terminal loadings were suspended although in-port supply was possible, according to one HK-based supplier cited by price reporting agency S&P Global Platts.
While operations are expected to restart Tuesday, the demand backlog could mean loading delays.
"Loadings at the terminal will be jammed from Tuesday, barges are currently empty," a seperate supplier was quoted as saying.
The wind strength warning on Typhoon Mangkhut was lowered early afternoon Monday in Hong Kong.
