The Bunker Review was contributed by Marine Bunker Exchange (MABUX)

MABUX World Bunker Index (consists of a range of prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO and MGO in the main world hubs) demonstrated upward changes on the 1st of March:

380 HSFO – USD/MT – 626.00 (+10.14)
VLSFO – USD/MT – 808.48 (+13.71)
MGO – USD/MT – 925.75 (+16.23)

As of March 01, a correlation of MABUX MBP Index (Market Bunker Prices) vs MABUX DBP Index (Digital Bunker Prices Benchmark) in four largest global hubs showed that 380 HSFO fuel grade was undervalued in three out of four selected ports: Rotterdam – by minus $9 (plus $3 the day before), in Singapore– by minus $34 (minus $21 the day before), in Fujairah – by minus $26 (minus $10 the day before). In Houston this fuel grade was overcharged by plus $ 27 (plus $50 the day before). The most significant changes were registered in Houston – the decrease of overcharge level by $23 on March 01.

VLSFO, according to the MABUX MBP /DBP Index, was overcharged on Mar. 01 in all selected ports. The overcharge ratio was registered in Rotterdam – plus $14 (plus $27 the day before), Singapore – plus $24 (plus $35 the day before), in Fujairah – by plus $56 (plus $64 the day before), in Houston – by plus $35 (plus $65 the day before).

The most significant changes were registered in Fujairah, where the overcharge level decreased by $42.

We expect global bunker prices may rise today. The price for 380HSFO may increase by 10-15 USD/MT, VLSFO may rise by 15-20 USD/MT, the price for MGO may increase 18-25 USD/MT.
