Singapore fuel oil stockpiles pile up for fourth straight week
Onshore fuel oil stockpiles at key trading hub Singapore climbed for a fourth consecutive week as imports remained strong, data showed.
Residual fuel inventories (STKRS-SIN) were at 23.71 million barrels (about 3.73 million metric tons) in the week to June 11, up 5% from the previous week, data from Enterprise Singapore showed.
The inventory levels have been holding above typical weekly averages of 20 million barrels for four weeks.
High supplies to the Asia region have kept the inventories buoyed. Fuel oil imports into Singapore onshore tanks climbed 3% from the previous week, reaching about 784,000 tons.
Most of the week’s imports hailed from Nigeria, Russia and Mexico, the data showed.
Meanwhile, exports out of the tanks totalled about 403,000 tons, up 21% week-on-week. The cargoes mostly ended up in China, the Philippines and South Korea.
The high inventories have weighed on the spot market, with downstream bunker differentials for high-sulphur marine fuel sinking into discounts to fuel oil cargo quotes.
