BUNKER PRICES: G20-VLSFO Index Advances for First in Four Sessions
Bunker fuel prices advanced at most ports on Thursday, with global average VLSFO prices rising for the first time this week.
Ship & Bunker's G20-VLSFO Index of prices across 20 leading bunkering ports gained $1/mt to $589.50/mt on Thursday, having reached the lowest level since September 12 the previous day.
The G20-HSFO Index rose by $3/mt to $486/mt, while the G20-MGO Index climbed by $3/mt to $733/mt.
ICE Brent crude futures advanced by $1.23/bl to $74.88/bl on Thursday.
VLSFO prices at the top four ports mostly followed a positive trend. At Singapore prices gained $10/mt to $591.50/mt, at Rotterdam they rose by $8/mt to $515/mt, at Fujairah they jumped by $4/mt to $576/mt, and at Houston they declined by $1/mt to $515/mt.
