Biofuel Bunker Snapshot: Prices Drop In Key Bunker Hubs

72

In Singapore, biofuel prices have dropped due to declines in conventional fuel and China UCOME prices. Rotterdam saw sharper biofuel price drops, particularly in B30-LSMGO HBE, while the Dutch HBE A ticket price rose for the third week, reports engine.online.

Singapore

Singapore’s B24-VLSFO UCOME has come down by $24/mt in the past week, while its B24-LSMGO UCOME price has declined by $32/mt.

These declines have been driven by a $24/mt fall in the underlying ENGINE conventional VLSFO price and a $35/mt drop in LSMGO price. Besides, the China UCOME FOB benchmark has dropped by $20/mt on the week, exerting additional downward pressure on both biofuel benchmarks.

The port’s B24-VLSFO UCOME premium over pure VLSFO has remained steady at $114/mt, while its B24-LSMGO UCOME premium over pure LSMGO has widened by $3/mt to $98/mt. These premiums are much narrower compared to Rotterdam’s.

Rotterdam

Rotterdam’s B30-LSMGO HBE price has dropped by $32/mt in the past week, more than double the $15/mt decline in the B30-VLSFO HBE price. The more pronounced drop in the B30-LSMGO HBE price has been driven by a sharper $38/mt decline in the underlying ENGINE conventional LSMGO price.

The Dutch HBE A ticket price has risen for the third consecutive week. PRIMA assessed Dutch HBE A ticket price at €9.85/GJ ($10.69/GJ) on Friday, up from €9.60/GJ ($10.42/GJ) the previous week.

Biofuel price premiums over pure conventional fuels are $194/mt for B30-VLSFO HBE blends and $163/mt for B30-LSMGO HBE blends.
