Singapore's onshore stocks of residual fuels rose for the third time in four weeks during the seven days up to Wednesday, December 4, according to data released by International Enterprise (IE) Singapore - an agency operating under the Ministry of Trade and Industry.

Stockpiles of residues, a category which includes fuel oil and low-sulphur waxy residue and excludes bitumen, climbed 480,000 barrels, or 2.4 percent, to 20.8 million barrels.

Inventories of middle distillates, a category which includes products such as gasoil, or diesel, and kerosene, increased by 1.31 million barrels, or 20 percent, to 7.99 million barrels, the data showed. It is the first stock rise in three weeks. Last week's inventory figure was the lowest since August 21.
