As of Oct. 06, the MABUX MBP/DBP Index (MDI) (the correlation between market bunker prices (MBP) and the MABUX digital bunker price benchmark (DBP)), registered the following trends in four selected ports: Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston.
– HSFO segment: All four selected ports were underpriced with the undercharge premium slightly widening in Rotterdam: plus $4, but narrowing in Singapore (minus $7), Fujairah (minus $8) and Houston (minus$6).
