380 HFSO

As of Feb.11, a correlation of MABUX MBP Index (Market Bunker Prices) vs MABUX DBP Index (Digital Bunker Prices Benchmark) in the four largest global hubs showed that 380 HSFO fuel grade was overvalued in two out of four selected ports. 

In Rotterdam – by plus $6 (plus $8 the day before), and in Houston by plus $ 4 (plus $27 the day before).

In Singapore, this fuel grade was undercharged – by minus $22 (no changes), in Fujairah – by minus $6 (minus $4 the day before).

The most significant changes were registered in Houston, where the overcharge level decreased by $23 on Feb.11.
