Fuel oil cargo is scheduled to be loaded from the Caribbean at the end of this month.

Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) has sold 2 million barrels of fuel oil to PetroChina Company Ltd., Bloomberg reports.

The Venezuelan state-owned oil company is reported to have awarded the tender on March 8 after postponing the deadline from March 6.
