BUNKER PRICES: G20-VLSFO Index Drops to Four-Day Low
Bunker fuel prices fell at most ports on Friday, with global average VLSFO prices slipping to the lowest level in almost a week.
Ship & Bunker's G20-VLSFO Index of prices across 20 leading bunkering ports lost $0.50/mt to $619.50/mt on Friday, reaching the lowest level since August 12.
The G20-HSFO Index rose by $2/mt to $516.50/mt, while the G20-MGO Index sank by $3/mt to $790/mt.
ICE Brent crude futures slipped by $1.36/bl to $79.68/bl on Friday.
VLSFO prices at the top four ports mostly followed a negative trend. At Singapore prices lost $2/mt to $605/mt, at Rotterdam they fell by $4/mt to $552/mt, at Fujairah they rallied by $0.50/mt to $601/mt, and at Houston they dropped by $0.50/mt to $566/mt.
