HSFO Insights

As of Nov. 03, the MABUX MBP/DBP Index (MDI), which tracks the correlation between market bunker prices (MBP) and the MABUX digital bunker price benchmark (DBP), has recorded the following trends in four selected ports: Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston.

– HSFO segment: All four selected ports remained undercharged, with the undercharge premium widening by $3 in Rotterdam, $4 in Singapore and $4 in Fujairah, but narrowing by $1 in Houston. Fujairah is the only port where the undervalue ratio exceeds the $100 mark.

VLSFO Insights

– VLSFO segment: Singapore and Fujairah were overcharged, with overprice margins decreasing by $19 in Singapore and $13 in Fujairah. The other two ports: Rotterdam and Houston – were underpriced. The undercharge premium increased by $10 in Rotterdam and $13 in Houston.

MGO LS Insights

– MGO LS segment: All four selected ports were underpriced. The undercharge ratio rose by $5 in Rotterdam, $9 in Singapore and $12 in Fujairah. The MDI index in Houston remained unchanged.
