Singapore bunker sales reach 9-month high


Sales volumes rose by 2.9 percent in January to their second-highest level since December 2013.

Bunker sales in Singapore rose to their highest level since April 2014 during the month of January, according to data released by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

Total sales at the world's leading bunker port increased last month by 102,600 tonnes, or 2.9 percent, to 3,680,100 tonnes, up from 3,577,500 tonnes in December. It is the second-highest figure since December 2013.

In comparison with the corresponding month last year, January volumes were up by 122,300 tonnes, or 3.4 percent. It is the first time since November that year-on-year monthly volumes have risen, and only the third time since June.

Sales of 380 centistoke (cSt) - Singapore's best-selling bunker grade - rose by 78,500 tonnes, or 2.9 percent, in January to 2,763,100 tonnes. In comparison with the corresponding month last year, 380 cSt sales were up by 8,300 tonnes, or 0.3 percent.

500 cSt volumes fell from the previous month's figure of 680,300 tonnes to 676,700 tonnes. The result is 41,000 tonnes, or 6.4 percent, higher than in January 2014.
