BUNKER PRICES: G20-VLSFO Index Drops for Third Session as Crude Slumps
Bunker fuel prices sank at most ports on Monday, with global average VLSFO prices dropping for a third consecutive session as crude futures slumped.

ICE Brent crude futures fell by $2.75/bl to $78.36/bl on Monday.
VLSFO prices at the top ports followed a negative trend. At Singapore prices fell by $2/mt to $597/mt, at Rotterdam they dropped by $7.50/mt to $548.50/mt, at Fujairah they declined by $1.50/mt to $596/mt, and at Houston they sank by $6.50/mt to $579.50/mt.
