Fujairah's total sales, excluding lubricants, totalled 549,765 m3 in February, according to data released by the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone and S&P Global Commodity Insights this week.

The February bunker sales volume was down 1% year-on-year and 13.5% from the previous month of January.

380 CST VLSFO sales dropped by 4.5% on the year to 365,258 m3 in February and 0.8% from January volumes.

Meanwhile, 380 CST HSFO sales increased by 3.1% on the year to 146,989 m3, but were 35.6% down from January.
