BUNKER PRICES: G20-VLSFO Index Rises for First Day in Three
Bunker fuel prices rallied at most ports on Friday, with average global VLSFO prices advancing for the first in three sessions.

ICE Brent crude futures gained $2.80/bl to $75.30/bl on Friday.
VLSFO prices at the top ports had a mixed trend. At Singapore prices declined by $2/mt to $561.50/mt, at Rotterdam they jumped by $10.50/mt to $528/mt, at Fujairah they were little changed at $555/mt, and at Houston they rose by $4/mt to $523/mt.
