BUNKER PRICES: G20-VLSFO Index Drops to 14-Month Low
Bunker fuel prices dropped with crude at most ports on Tuesday, with global average VLSFO prices falling to the lowest level in almost 14 months.
Ship & Bunker's G20-VLSFO Index of prices across 20 leading bunkering ports lost $8/mt to $596/mt on Tuesday, reaching the lowest level since July 2023.
The G20-HSFO Index fell by $4.50/mt to $474.50/mt, while the G20-MGO Index sank by $4.50/mt to $734.50/mt.
ICE Brent crude futures sank by $2.65/bl to $69.19/bl on Tuesday.
VLSFO prices at the top four ports followed a negative trend. At Singapore prices lost $12/mt to $592.50/mt, at Rotterdam they fell by $9/mt to $507/mt, at Fujairah they slipped by $8.50/mt to $589/mt, and at Houston they dropped by $9.50/mt to $506.50/mt.
