As of Monday, the strong currents and winds due to the ongoing typhoon in China has halted bunkering in Hong Kong.
What happened?
Bunkering has been suspended in Hong Kong due to typhoon Mangkhut. A Hong Kong based supplier cited by Platts said that “terminal loadings in ports are suspended although in-port supply was possible”.
Loading Delays
The wind strength warning has been lowered on Monday afternoon and operations will resume from Tuesday. However, backlogs might lead to loading delays.
“Loadings at the terminal will be jammed from Tuesday, barges are currently empty,” said another supplier.
