Bunker fuel prices fell at most ports on Tuesday, with global average VLSFO prices declining to the lowest level in almost two weeks as crude futures sank.

The G20-HSFO Index slipped by $16/mt to $501.50/mt, while the G20-MGO Index fell by $13/mt to $752.50/mt.
ICE Brent crude futures sank by $3.21/bl to $74.25/bl on Tuesday.
VLSFO prices at the top four ports followed a negative trend. At Singapore prices lost $20/mt to $594.50/mt, at Rotterdam they declined by $12.50/mt to $550/mt, at Fujairah they dropped by $16.50/mt to $586.50/mt, and at Houston they slipped by $21.50/mt to $542.50/mt.
