Ship & Bunker's G20-VLSFO Index of prices across 20 leading bunkering ports gained $2/mt to $560/mt on Friday, reaching its highest level since March 4.

The G20-HSFO Index jumped by $5.50/mt to $498/mt, while the G20-MGO Index climbed by $2/mt to $760/mt.

ICE Brent crude futures slipped by $0.40/bl to $73.63/bl on Friday.
