On December 14, the MABUX World Bunker Index, computed from prevailing prices of 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO, demonstrated an upward trend.

380 HSFO – USD/MT – 510.82 (+2.14)

VLSFO – USD/MT – 625.59 (+4.52)

MGO – USD/MT – 868.30 (+5.19)

HSFO Overpriced

As of Dec. 14, the MABUX MBP/DBP Index (MDI), which monitors the correlation between market bunker prices (MBP) and the MABUX digital bunker price benchmark (DBP), registered the following trends across four selected ports: Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston.

– HSFO segment: Houston was the only overcharged port in this fuel segment, with the overprice premium increasing further by $3. The other three selected ports remained undercharged. Underpricing margins have narrowed further by $2 in Rotterdam, $1 in Singapore and $2 in Fujairah.

VLSFO Overpriced

– VLSFO segment: Rotterdam and Houston remained underpriced, with premiums decreasing by $6 in Rotterdam and $7 in Houston. Singapore and Fujairah were in the overcharge zone, with overpricing margins increasing by $1 in Singapore, but decreasing by $4 in Fujairah.

– MGO LS segment: Fujairah was the only port in the overcharge zone with the overprice premium narrowing by $16. The other three ports remained underpriced. The undercharge ratio decreased by $1 in Rotterdam, $18 in Singapore, and $14 in Houston.

We expect Global bunker indices to continue a sustainable upward trend on Dec. 15: 380 HSFO – plus 3-8 USD/MT, VLSFO – plus 3-10 USD/MT, MGO LS – plus 6-11 USD/MT.
