Bunker suppliers at the port of Rotterdam have been quoting 380 centistoke (cSt) product at below $500-per-tonne levels today (October 10), according to Bunker Index price data.

Local players were today offering price levels of $495.00 to $500.00 per tonne for Rotterdam's largest-selling high sulphur marine fuel grade as global bunker prices continue to tumble.

It is the first time since January 5, 2011, that levels below $500 per tonne have been quoted for 380 cSt product. On that day, 45 months ago, suppliers were offering levels of $493.00 to $497.00 per tonne.
